Cherokee Boogie
Well, ol' Cherokee chief as he dances along
He sings an Indian's boogie to a white man's song
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
"Hey, hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina, oh no, a-wittena-yea"
Well, he dances over here and he dances over there
And he dances with a spoon named Stanny Bear
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
"Yeah hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina, oh no, a-wittena-yea"
Come on, huh
Why that's a man after my own heart
With a razor
Well, he dances in a trot and then he dances in a waltz
But he keeps on shaking his ol' tomahawk
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
"Yeah hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina, oh no, a-wittena-yea"
Well, he sings a little soft then he sings a little loud
And his tomtom beats, oh, cheeky cloud
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
"Yeah hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina, oh no, a-wittena"
Come on, Lucky, beat it now
Modest biker, Johnny P.
He's a Cherokee chief as a you all might know
And he sings his boogie sayin', "Nuven-yo"
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
"Yeah hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina, oh no, a-wittena"
Let's go home, now
He sings an Indian's boogie to a white man's song
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
"Hey, hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina, oh no, a-wittena-yea"
Well, he dances over here and he dances over there
And he dances with a spoon named Stanny Bear
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
"Yeah hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina, oh no, a-wittena-yea"
Come on, huh
Why that's a man after my own heart
With a razor
Well, he dances in a trot and then he dances in a waltz
But he keeps on shaking his ol' tomahawk
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
"Yeah hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina, oh no, a-wittena-yea"
Well, he sings a little soft then he sings a little loud
And his tomtom beats, oh, cheeky cloud
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
"Yeah hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina, oh no, a-wittena"

Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina, oh no, a-wittena"
Let's go home, now
