Well a Cherokee chief as he dances along
He does an Indian boogie to a white man's song
Singin' hey-ho-a-lina (hey-ho-a-lina) hey-ho-a-lina (hey-ho-a-lina)
A well a hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea
Well he dances over here and he dances over there
And he keeps on a dancin' everywhere
Well he dances on the hill and he dances on the rock
But he keeps on shakin' that tomohawk
Well he sings to the hills and he sings to the clouds
And he keeps on singin' so big and proud
Well he's a Cherokee cheif as a you might know
And he keeps on sittin' singing nuven-yo
Well a Cherokee chief as he dances along
He does an Indian boogie to a white man's song
