Jock-A-Mo (Iko, Iko)    (1953)

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:
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 betcha five dollars he'll kill you dead.
Jock-a-mo fee na-né

(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)

See that guy all dressed in green?
I-ko, i-ko, un-day.
He's not a man; he's a lovin' machine.
Jock-a mo fee na-né

(repeat chorus)

Lyrics by James Crawford.
