Lyrics

Your grandma and my grandma were sittin' by the fire
My grandma told your grandma: "I'm gonna set your hair on fire."
Talk-in' 'bout, Hey now! Hey now! Iko, Iko, un-day
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-né, jock-a-mo fee na-né
Look at my Thing all colored red I-ko, I-ko, un-day
I betcha five dollars it'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 buddy and your buddy were
Sittin' by the fire. My buddy told Your buddy
"I'm gonna set your hair 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 lovin' 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
