Warren Zevon — Iko-Iko lyrics

Lyrics

My grandma and your grandma were
Sit-tin' by the fire. — My grandma told
Your grandma «I'm gonna set your flag on fire.»
Talk-in' 'bout, Hey now! Hey now! I-KO, I-KO, un-day
Jack-a-mo fee-no ai na-na. — Jock-a-mo fee na-na
Look at my king all dressed in red
I-KO, I-KO, un-day. I betcha five dollars he’ll kill youdead
Jack-a-mo fee na-na
Talk-in' 'bout, Hey now! Hey now! I-KO, I-KO, un-day
Jack-a-mo fee-no ai na-n?. — Jock-a-mo fee na-n?
My flag boy and your flag boy were
Sit-tin' by the fire. — My flag boy told
Your flag boy «I'm gonna set your flag on fire.»
Talk-in' 'bout, Hey now! Hey now! I-KO, I-KO, un-day
Jack-a-mo fee-no ai na-n?. — Jock-a-mo fee na-n?
See that guy all dressed in green?
I-KO, I-KO, un-day. He’s not a man
He’s a lov-in' machine
Jack-a mo fee na-n?
Talk-in' 'bout, Hey now! Hey now! I-KO, I-KO, un-day
Jack-a-mo fee-no ai na-n?. — Jock-a-mo fee na-n?
