Three Wheels On My Wagon - Burt Bacharach, Dick Van Dyke

Three wheels on my wagon

And I’m still rolling along —

The Cherokees are chasing me

Arrows fly

Right on by

But I’m singing a happy song!

I’m singing a higgity, haggity, hoggety, high

Pioneers, they never say die!

A mile up the road there’s a hidden cave

And we can watch those Cherokees

Go galloping by!

Spoken:

«George, they’re catching up to us!»

«Get back in the wagon woman!»

Two wheels on my wagon

And I’m still rolling along —

Them Cherokees are after me

Flaming spears

Burn my ears

But I’m singing a happy song!

I’m singing a higgity, haggity hoggety, high

Pioneers, they never say die!

Half a mile up the road there’s a hidden cave

And we can watch those Cherokees

Go galloping by!

Spoken:

«Duh, Paw?

Are you sure this is the right road?»

«Will you hush up?

You and your maps!»

One wheel on my wagon

And I’m still rolling along —

Them Cherokees after me

I’m all in flames

At the reins

But I’m singing a happy song!

I’m singing a higgity, haggity hoggety, high

Pioneers, they never say die!

Right around that turn there’s a hidden cave

And we can watch those Cherokees

Go galloping by!

Spoken:

«George?

Should I get the bag of beads and trinkets?»

«Woman, I know what I’m doing!»

No wheels on my wagon

So I’m not rolling along —

The Cherokees captured me

They look mad

Things look bad

But I’m singing a happy song!

Spoken:

«C'mon all you Cherokees, sing along with me!»

Higgity, haggity hoggety, high

Pioneers, they never say die!

Higgity, haggity hoggety, high

Pioneers, they never say die!
