Cherokee Boogie by Johnny Horton

Well, a Cherokee chief as he dances along
Sings an Indian boogie to a white man's song
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina"
Hey-ho-a-lina
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina"
Hey-ho-a-lina
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina", oh oh no it's in our heads
(Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh)

Well, he dances over here and he dances over there
Now he's dancing with a squeal called standing bear
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina"
Hey-ho-a-lina
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina"
Hey-ho-a-lina
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina", oh oh no it's in our heads
(Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh)

Well, he dances on the hill and he dances on the rock
But he keeps on shaking that tomahawk
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina"
Hey-ho-a-lina
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina"
Hey-ho-a-lina
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina", oh oh no it's in our heads
(Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh)

Well, he sings a little soft and he sings a little loud
with his tom-tom beatin' so big and proud
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina"
Hey-ho-a-lina
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina"
Hey-ho-a-lina
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina", oh oh no it's in our heads
(Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh)

Well, he dances over here and he dances over there
Now he's dancing with a squeal called standing bear
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina"
Hey-ho-a-lina
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina"
Hey-ho-a-lina
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina", oh oh no it's in our heads
(Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh)

Now, he's a Cherokee chief as a you all might know
When he keeps on a singing nuven-yo
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina"
Hey-ho-a-lina
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina"
Hey-ho-a-lina
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina", oh oh no it's in our heads
(Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh)
