"Minni-Ha-Cha" lyrics

Minni-ha-cha was the name of the maid that was old Kawliga's gal
The customer took her far away but Kawliga's with her now
Minni-ha-cha
She left a trail for ol' wooden head to find
Now ol' Kawliga's with her all the time

She dropped her beads along the way to make a trail for him
She knew if ol' Kawliga stayed her life would be so grim
Minni-ha-cha
How she loved that poor ol' wooden head
The man of knotty pine with a face so red

Minni-ha-cha and ol' Kawliga they're together now
The gal that invented lovin' come along and showed him how
Now they's educated to what that stuff can do
And they're as civilized as me and you

Years have passed and now at last they got Papoose by the score
Kawliga beats his old tom tom while she sweeps the floor
Minni-ha-cha
Works her poor fingers to the bone
While ol' Kawliga sings an Indian song

Now you've heard the story about a wooden love affair
An Indian with a tomahawk and a maid with the coal black hair
Minni-ha-cha
Kawliga
They're as happy as anyone can be
'Cause they're together and have a family

Minni-ha-cha and ol' Kawliga they're together now
The gal that invented lovin' come along and showed him how
Now they's educated to what that stuff can do
And they're as civilized as me and you

Minni-ha-cha
Kawliga
Papoose
