Iko Iko Songtext
von Long John Baldry

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."

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

Look at my king all dressed in red I-ko, I-ko, un-day.
I bet-cha five dol-lars he'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 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."

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 lov-in' 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
