Cherokee Lizzie

Timothy Birdnow

This is sung to the tune of Cherokee Nation, written by Don Fardon and performed by Paul Revere and the Raiders.

She claimed decent from the Cherokee Nation
And that gave her a Harvard Law School reservation
Being Cherokee held its attraction
And it helped with affirmative action

She had Nordic type skin tones
and was missing high cheekbones
But she took it all to heart
with her moccasins from Wal Mart

Cherokee Lizzie
Cherokee chick
So proud to live
with her little trick

The Cherokee demanded proof
That Ms. Warren was not some goof
Was she really their own kin
she's a one thirtysecond Indian

Cherokee Lizzie
Cherokee chick
So proud to live
with her little trick

And some day they'll all demure
when they call her Senator
Senator
Senator
