Iko Iko Lyrics


My grand-ma and your grand-ma were
sit-tin' by the fire. - My grand-ma told
your grand-ma, "I'm gon-na set your flag on fire." -
Chorus:
Tal-kin' 'bout, Hey now! Hey now! I-KO, I-KO, un-day.
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-ne. - Jock-a-mo fee na-ne. -
Look at my king all dressed in red. -
I-KO, I-KO, un-day. I bet-cha five doll-lars he'll
kill you dead. - Jock-a-mo fee na-ne. -
(Repeat Chorus)
See that man all dressed in green? -
I-KO, I-KO, un-day. He ain't a man; He's a
lo-vin' ma-chine. - Jock-a-mo fee na-ne. -

(Repeat Chorus)
My flag boy and your flag boy were
sit-tin' by the fire. - My flag boy told
your flag boy, "I'm gon-na set your flag on fire." -
(Repeat Chorus)
