Lived in an Indian teepee
She laughed like a horse
And giggled of course
Alas she was odd and creepy.

Who did not quite know what to do
Then down by the river
She turned Indian-giver
And I ended up with the flu

Indian cats do a cha cha cha
Four cartoons which were easy to draw
One breaks rank and yells rah rah rah!
They are as brazen as I ever saw!
