Chic-Ka-Saw 1913

There was a chap
not quite off the map
who was quite a stylish jay,
His clothes were new
if very few
but cut in the proper way.
his income it was good for beer
his taste inclined to wine,
he heard that easy money came along
the matrimonial line,
so he wrote an Indian maid
and this is what he said:

Chickachickachickasaw
you've got land I'd like to draw
it'll grow timber and that is wood;
thinking of sections your face looks good,
you could really have me if you only would,
so take me Chicka and I'll be good,
I'll adopt the tribe and a motherinlaw
My ChickaChicka
My Chickachickasaw

Chickachickachickasaw
you've got land I'd like to draw
it'll grow timber and that is wood;
thinking of sections your face looks good,
you could really have me if you only would,
so take me Chicka and I'll be good,
I'll adopt the tribe and a motherinlaw
My ChickaChicka
My Chickachickasaw

A letter came from a distant spot
which told of a happy lot,
was written by an Indian squaw
who'd drawn quite a prize by law,
he let his fancy roam at will
and soon he ran a tailor's bill,
he packed a grip and took a train
an Indian bride was bound to gain
when he met this Indian maid,
these words he softly said:

Chickachickachickasaw
you've got land I'd like to draw
it'll grow timber and that is wood;
thinking of sections your face looks good,
you could really have me if you only would,
so take me Chicka and I'll be good,
I'll adopt the tribe and a motherinlaw
My ChickaChicka
My Chickachickasaw

Chickachickachickasaw
you've got land I'd like to draw
it'll grow timber and that is wood;
thinking of sections your face looks good,
you could really have me if you only would,
so take me Chicka and I'll be good,
I'll adopt the tribe and a motherinlaw
My ChickaChicka
My Chickachickasaw..
