My grandma and your grandma
Were sittin' by the fire
My grandma told your grandma,
"I'm gonna set your flag on fire."
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
Talkin' 'bout,
Hey now! Hey now!
Iko Iko un day,
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-ne.
Jock-a-mo fee-na-ne
See that guy all dressed in green?
Iko Iko un day.
He's not a man he's a lovin machine.
Jock-a-mo fee na-ne
Talkin' 'bout,
Hey now! Hey now!
Iko Iko un day,
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-ne.
Jock-a-mo fee-na-ne
My flag boy and you flag boy
Were sittin' by the fire
My flag boy told your flag boy,
"I'm gonna set your flag on fire."
Talkin' 'bout,
Hey now! Hey now!
Iko Iko un day,
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-ne.
Jock-a-mo fee-na-ne
