Lyrics Iko Iko - Long John Baldry

Iko Iko

My grand-ma and your grand-ma were sit-tin' by the fire
My grand-ma told your grand-ma: «I'm gon-na set your flag on fire.»
Talk-in' 'bout, Hey now !
Hey now !
I-ko, I-ko, un-day
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-né, jock-a-mo fee na-né
Look at my king all dressed in red I-ko, I-ko, un-day
I bet-cha five dol-lars he’ll kill you dead, jock-a-mo fee na-né
Talk-in' 'bout, Hey now !
Hey now !
I-ko, I-ko, un-day
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-né, jock-a-mo fee na-né
My flag boy and your flag boy were
Sit-tin' by the fire.
— My flag boy told
Your flag boy: «I'm gon-na set your flag on fire.»
Talk-in' 'bout, Hey now !
Hey now !
I-KO, I-KO, un-day
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-né, jock-a-mo fee na-né
See that guy all dressed in green?
I-KO, I-KO, un-day
He’s not a man, he’s a lov-in' ma-chine
Jock-a mo fee na-né
Talk-in' 'bout, hey now!
Hey now!
I-ko, I-ko, un-day
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-né, jock-a-mo fee na-né
