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
Singin' hey-ho-a-lina
[ guitar ]
Well he dances on the hill and he dances on the rock
But he keeps on shakin' that tomohawk
Singin' hey-ho-a-lina

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

Well he's a Cherokee cheif as a you might know
And he keeps on sittin' singing nuven-yo
A now hey-ho-a-lina

Well a Cherokee chief as he dances along
He does an Indian boogie to a white man's song
Singin' hey-ho-a-lina
