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

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

Singin' Hey-ho-a-lina

Hey-ho-a-lina

A well a hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea

Well, he dances on the hill and he dances on the rock

But he keeps on shaking that tomohawk

Singin' Hey-ho-a-lina

Hey-ho-a-lina

A well a hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea

Well, he sings to the hills and he sings to the clouds

And he keeps on singin' so big and proud

A now Hey-ho-a-lina

Hey-ho-a-lina

A well a hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea

Well, he's a Cherokee cheif as a you might know

And he keeps on sittin' singing nuven-yo

Now Hey-ho-a-lina

Hey-ho-a-lina

A well a hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea

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

A well a hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea
