Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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)
Hey now (Hey, now)
Iko, Iko, un-day
Jock-a-mo, fee-no, ai-na-né
Jock-a-mo, fee-na-né
[Verse 2]
Look at my king all dressed in red
Iko, Iko, un-day
I bet you five dollars, he'll kill you dead
Jock-a-mo, fee-na-né
[Chorus]
Talkin' 'bout
Hey, now (Hey, now)
Hey, now (Hey, now)
Iko, Iko, un-day
Jock-a-mo, fee-no, ai-na-né
Jock-a-mo, fee-na-né
[Verse 3]
My flag boy and your flag boy
Sittin' by the fire
My flag boy told your flag boy
"I'm gonna set your flag on fire"
[Chorus]
Talkin' 'bout
Hey, now (Hey, now)
Hey, now (Hey, now)
Iko, Iko, un-day
Jock-a-mo, fee-no, ai-na-né
Jock-a-mo, fee-na-né
[Verse 4]
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-né
[Chorus]
Talkin' 'bout
Hey, now (Hey, now)
Hey, now (Hey, now)
Iko, Iko, un-day
Jock-a-mo, fee-no, ai-na-né
Jock-a-mo, fee-na-né
[Outro]
Talkin' 'bout
Hey, now
Hey, now (Hey, now)
Iko, Iko, un-day (Oh, oh-oh)
Jock-a-mo, fee-no, ai-na-né
Jock-a-mo, fee-na-né
Jock-a-mo, fee-na-né (Dressed in green)
Jock-a-mo, fee-na-né (Iko)
Jock-a-mo, fee-na-né
