Iko Iko Lyrics

My grandma and your grandma
Sitting by the fire
My grandma says to your grandma
"I'm gonna set your flag on fire"

Talkin' 'bout
Hey now
Hey now

Jockomo feena ah na nay
Jockomo feena nay

Look at my king all dressed in red
Iko iko an nay
I bet you five dollars he'll kill you dead
Jockomo feena nay

Talkin' 'bout
Hey now (hey now)
Hey now (hey now)
Iko iko an nay (whoah-oh)

My flag boy and your flag boy

My flag boy says to your flag boy
"I'm gonna set your flag on fire"

See that guy all dressed in green

Jockomo feena ah na nay
Jockomo feena nay (x 15)
