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
[INDIANS w/ CHIEF]
And we all've been blushing since
[INDIANS]
You've got it from the headman
The real true story of the red man
No matter what's been written or said
[INDIANS w/ CHIEF]
Now you know why the red man's red
