Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Ah, icky thump, who'da thunk?

Sitting drunk on a wagon to Mexico

Ahh well, what a chump

Well, my head got a bump when I hit it on the radio

[Verse 2]

Redhead señorita looking dead

Came and said, "Need a bed?" in Español

I said, "Gimme a drink of water

I'm gonna sing around the collar, and I don't need a microphone"

[Verse 3]

Icky thump with a lump in my throat

Grabbed my coat, and I was freaking, I was ready to go

And I swear besides the hair, she had one white eye

One blank stare, looking up, lying there

[Verse 4]

On the stand, near her hand was a candy cane

Black rum, sugar cane, dry ice and something strange

[Bridge]

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la

[Verse 5]

White Americans, what? Nothing better to do

Why don't you kick yourself out? You're an immigrant, too

Who's using who? What should we do?

Well, you can't be a pimp and a prostitute, too

[Verse 6]

Icky thump, handcuffed to a bunk

Robbed blind, looked around, and there was nobody else

Left alone, I hit myself with a stone

Went home and learned how to clean up after myself
