By the Shores of the Potomac

By the shining city DC

One one thousandth of an Injun

Stood there proudly churning butter.

Churning butter, Lieawatha,

Golden butter, Lieawatha

Daughter of the Oklahomans

Pale as mackerel in moonlight,

White as speck on chicken doodle,

Cherokee from the cigar store.

By the Shores of the Potomac

By the shining city DC

One one thousandth of an Injun

Stood beside a butter churn.

Churning butter, Lieawatha,

Golden butter, Lieawatha

Daughter of the Oklahomans

Pale as mackerel in moonlight,

White as speck on chicken doodle,

Cherokee from the cigar store.

By the Shores of the Potomac

One one thousandth of an Injun

Stood beside a butter churn.

Churning butter, Lieawatha,

Golden butter, Lieawatha

Daughter of the Oklahomans

Pale as mackerel in moonlight,

White as speck on chicken doodle,

Lying phony Cherokee

By the Shores of the Potomac

By the shining city DC

One one thousandth of an Injun

Stood beside a butter churn.

Churning butter, Lieawatha,

Golden butter, Lieawatha

Daughter of the Oklahomans

Pale as mackerel in moonlight.

By the shining city DC

One one thousandth of an Injun

Stood beside a butter churn.

Churning butter, Lieawatha,

Golden butter, Lieawatha

Daughter of the Oklahomans

Pale as mackerel and milk.
