My grandma and your grandma
Were sittin' by the fire
My grandma told your grandma,
"I'm gonna set your flag on fire."
(Chorus:)
Talkin' 'bout,
Hey now! Hey now!
Iko Iko un day,
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-ne.
Jock-a-mo fee-na-ne
Look at my king all dressed in red
Iko Iko un-day
I betcha five dollars he'll kill you dead
Jock-a-mo fee na-ne
Chorus
See that guy all dressed in green?
Iko Iko un day
He's not a man he's a loving machine
Jock-a-mo fee na-ne
Chorus
My flag boy and you flag boy
Were sitting by the fire
My flag boy told your flag boy
"I'm gonna set your flag on fire."
Chorus
