Lyrics
Once the Injun didn't know all the things that he know now
But the Injun he sure learn a lot and it's all from asking how
We translate for you
Hana means what mana means and ganda means that too
When did he first say, "Ugh?"
When did he first say, "Ugh?"
In the Injun book, it say when first brave married squaw
He gave out with heap big "ugh" when he saw his mother-in-law
What made the red man red?
What made the red man red?
Let's go back a million years to the very first Injun prince
He kissed a maid and start to blush and we've all been blushin' since
Now you've got it right from the head man
The real true story of the red man
No matter what's been written or said
Now you know why the red man's red.
