Oh Cherokee Chief as he dances along
he sings an Indian boogie to a white man's song
ChorusA
Singin' "Hey Ho-alena" (Hey Ho-alena)

Singin' "Hey Ho-alena" (Hey Ho-alena)
BE
Singin' "Hey Ho-alena Ola-nana which-a nai-ay"
E
Well he dances over here, and he dances over there.
And he dances with a squaw called "Standin' Bear"
E
Well he dances in a trot and he dances in a walk
but he keeps on a shakin' his old tommyhawk
E
Now he sings a little soft and he sings a little loud
and his tom-tom beats on full blue cloud.
E
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)
E
Singin' "Hey Ho-alena" (Hey Ho-alena)
BE
Singin' "Hey Ho-alena Oo-oo-nana which-a nai-ay-ay".
