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"
Four ladies all promenade and get you back
And swing with your man and promenade that land
Well "Hey-ho-a-lina - wup-wup a witten-a-yea"
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads (sides) square thru four hands and then
Meet your corner honey and you swing thru my friend

Boy walk across, swing your corner and all promenade
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina - wup-wup a witten-a-yea"
