Lyrics for Pow Wow

Christopher Columbus discovered America Found he had a cornucopia Gave love to the Indians, and they gave it back A pow woo in the teepee is where it's at I wanna dance with you I wanna dance with you I wanna dance with you I wanna dance with you The Indian fought with his arrow and bow 'Til General Custer lost to Sitting Bull Scalped all day and scalped all night Give me that fire water, I'm gonna buy me a wife I wanna dance with you I wanna dance with you I wanna dance with you I wanna dance with you When your people first moved to our block Our ancestors met with culture shock Two different monkeys from two different trees Come on let's stop our fightin' and come dance with me Come on and dance with me Come on and dance with me 'Cause I really wanna dance with you I wanna dance with you Come on dance with me
