Oh, A Cherokee chief as he dances along
Sings an Indian boogie to a white man's song
Singin' "Eh-Oh-Aleena" ("Eh-Oh-Aleena")
Singin' "Eh-Oh-Aleena" ("Eh-Oh-Aleena")
Singing "Eh-Oh-Aleena - oh-oh-na-wich-ee-na-eh"
(Ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho)

Well, he dances over here and he dances over there
Now he's dancing with a squaw called Standing Bear
Singin' "Eh-Oh-Aleena" ("Eh-Oh-Aleena")
Singin' "Eh-Oh-Aleena" ("Eh-Oh-Aleena")
Singing "Eh-Oh-Aleena - oh-oh-na-wich-ee-na-eh"
(Ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho)

Well, he dances in a trot and he dances in a walk
But he keeps on shaking his old tomohawk
Singin' "Eh-Oh-Aleena" ("Eh-Oh-Aleena")
Singin' "Eh-Oh-Aleena" ("Eh-Oh-Aleena")
Singing "Eh-Oh-Aleena - oh-oh-na-wich-ee-na-eh"
(Ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho)

Well, he sings a little soft and he sings a little loud
With his tom-tom beating so big and proud
Singin' "Eh-Oh-Aleena" ("Eh-Oh-Aleena")
Singin' "Eh-Oh-Aleena" ("Eh-Oh-Aleena")
Singing "Eh-Oh-Aleena - h-oh-na-wich-ee-na-eh"
(Ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho)

Yeah, he dances over here and he dances over there
Now he's dancing with a squaw called Standing Bear
Singin' "Eh-Oh-Aleena" ("Eh-Oh-Aleena")
Singin' "Eh-Oh-Aleena" ("Eh-Oh-Aleena")
Singing "Eh-Oh-Aleena - oh-oh-na-wich-ee-na-eh"
(Ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho)

Now, he's a Cherokee chief as you all might know
And he keeps on singing sayin' "na-wan-yo"
Singin' "Eh-Oh-Aleena" ("Eh-Oh-Aleena")
Singin' "Eh-Oh-Aleena" ("Eh-Oh-Aleena")
Singing "Eh-Oh-Aleena - oh-oh-na-wich-ee-na-eh"
(Ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho)
