Lyrics:

My grandma and your grandma were
Sit-tin’ by the fire. – My grandma told
Your grandma “I’m gonna 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-n?. – Jock-a-mo fee na-nay?

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-nay?

Talk-in’ ’bout, Hey now ! Hey now ! I-KO, I-KO, un-day
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-n?. – Jock-a-mo fee na-nay?

My flag boy and your flag boy were
Sit-tin’ by the fire. –
My flag boy told Your flag boy “I’m gonna 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-n?. – Jock-a-mo fee na-nay?

See that guy all dressed in green ?
I-KO, I-KO, un-day. He’s not a man
He’s a lov-in’ machine
Jock-a mo fee na-nay?

Talk-in’ ’bout, Hey now ! Hey now ! I-KO, I-KO, un-day
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-n?. – Jock-a-mo fee na-n?

Dixie Cups – Iko Iko

Published on Apr 23, 2015

After their hit with “Chapel of Love”, The Dixie Cups went on to release a number of hits including, “People Say” and “You Should Have Seen the Way he Looked at Me”, continuing their success. “Iko Iko” tells the story of a parade collision between the “tribes” of Mardi Gras Indians and the traditional confrontation. The Dixie Cups learned the song from their grandmother singing it. They reached #20 on the US Billboard charts in 1965 with their version. This performance was recorded live at Little Darlin’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Palace, in Kissimmee, Florida.

I love these girls.
