Not Enough Indians Lyrics By Dean Martin

    wagon train of lovin’ moving slow
    and i can see the peace pipe burning low
    you criticize each little thing i do
    but listen baby i’ve got news for you

    there’s too many chiefs and not enough indians around this house
    baby i’m tired of this old game we play called cat and mouse
    if you don’t give just a little bit more
    we’re both gonna lose this race
    ’cause there’s too many chiefs and not enough indians around this place

    trouble on our happy hunting ground
    ’cause you keep stepping too far out of bounds
    it’s hard to run this reservation right
    when you stay on the warpath day and night

    well there’s too many chiefs and not enough indians around this house
    baby i’m tired of this old game we play called cat and mouse
    if you don’t give just a little bit more
    we’re both gonna lose this race
    ’cause there’s too many cheifs and not enough indians around this place

    look at all the things i have to do
    to keep this teepee running just for you
    well time’s are tough and wampum’s hard to save
    just remember who’s the squaw and who’s the brave

    well there’s too many cheifs and not enough indians around this house
    baby i’m tired of playing this old game called cat and mouse
    if you don’t give just a little bit more
    we’re both gonna lose this race
    ’cause there’s too many cheifs and not enough indians around this place
