Talkin' 'bout, Hey now! Hey now!

Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-ne

Talkin' 'bout, Hey now! Hey now!

Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-ne
Jock-a-mo fee-na-ne
Bridge:
Iko Iko aah-yeah - hey
Iko Iko aah-yeah - hey
Verse1:
My grandma and your grandma
were sittin' by the fire
My grandma told your grandma:
"I'm gonna set your flag on fire"
Look at my king all dressed in red
I-KO I-KO un-day
I betcha five dollars he'll kill you dead
Jock-a-mo fee-na-ne

Singing this song with Captain Jack
Iko Iko aah-yeah - hey
Party allnight, the Captains back
Iko Iko aah-yeah - hey
Verse2:
My flag boy and your flag boy
were sittin' by the fire
My flagboy told your flagboy:
"I'm gonna set your flag on fire"
See that guy all dressed in green?
I-KO I-KO un-day
He's not a man, he's a lovin' machine
Jock-a-mo fee-na-ne
Bridge:
Hooray Hooray, Holi Holiday
Hooray Hooray, Holi Holiday
