Lyrics for Big Chief

Me gat' a fire can't put out! If I was gonna make you shout. I'm going down to get my squaw. We're gon' buy a great big car. Me Big Chief, me feelin' good. Me gon' do everything we could. Me Big Chief, me got em' proud! Me gon' take em' for a ride. My flag boy just went by. My flag boy full of fire. My whole tribe is havin' fun. We gon' dance till morning come. Me Big Chief, me got my band! Girls in wild rags, near Tremayne. Me Big Chief, me got my food. Drink Firewater, gon' get me blue Me Big Chief, me feelin' good. Me gon' do everything me could. (Find and levee and burn it down! x20)
