Cherokee Boogie Lyrics

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"
A well a "hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea"

Well, he dances over here and he dances over there
And he keeps on a dancin' everywhere
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina"
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
A well a "hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea"

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"
A well a "hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea"

Well, he sings to the hills and he sings to the clouds
And he keeps on singin' so big and proud
A now "Hey-ho-a-lina"
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
A well a "hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea"

Well, he's a Cherokee cheif as a you might know
And he keeps on sittin' singing "nuven-yo"
Now "Hey-ho-a-lina"
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
A well a "hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea"

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"
A well a "hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea"

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" 
A well a "hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea"

Well, he dances over here and he dances over there 
And he keeps on a dancin' everywhere 
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina" 
"Hey-ho-a-lina" 
A well a "hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea"

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" 
A well a "hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea"

Well, he sings to the hills and he sings to the clouds 
And he keeps on singin' so big and proud 
A now "Hey-ho-a-lina" 
"Hey-ho-a-lina" 
A well a "hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea"

Well, he's a Cherokee cheif as a you might know 
And he keeps on sittin' singing "nuven-yo" 
Now "Hey-ho-a-lina" 
"Hey-ho-a-lina" 
A well a "hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea"

Well, A Cherokee chief as he dances along

Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina" 
"Hey-ho-a-lina" 
A well a "hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea"

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
