Oh Cherokee Chief as he dances along
he sings an Indian boogie to a white man's song
Singin' \"Hey Ho-alena\" (Hey Ho-alena)
Singin' \"Hey Ho-alena\" (Hey Ho-alena)
Singin' \"Hey Ho-alena Ola-nana which-a nai-ay\"
Well he dances over here, and he dances over there.
And he dances with a squaw called \"Standin' Bear\"
Well he dances in a trot and he dances in a walk
but he keeps on a shakin' his old tommyhawk
Now he sings a little soft and he sings a little loud
and his tom-tom beats on full blue cloud. ß( Hank sings it this way)
He's a Cherokee Chief as you all might know
when he sings his boogie sayin' \"Hey why-yo\"
Singin' \"Hey Ho-alena\" (Hey Ho-alena)
Singin' \"Hey Ho-alena\" (Hey Ho-alena)
Singin' \"Hey Ho-alena Oo-oo-nana which-a nai-ay-ay\".
