Ritornello:
So Catumbo 'o pellirossa,

Chi me chiamma: "Freccia nera".
Chi me chiamma: "Penna gialla".
Uh! Ma ll'anema d' 'a palla!…
Nun capisco niente cchiù!…
"Toro seduto" 'a cca,
"Cavallo pazzo" 'a llà,
atturno a me se metteno a ballà
So' Catumbo 'o pellirossa,
pellirossa americano…
Uh! Che spasso a fa l'indiano
col rossetto di mammà!…
Finale:
