Iko Iko

Текст песни Samuel E. Wright - Iko Iko

Oh man, that's good
Yeah, man haha
You think calypso music is hot?
You wait till you taste the pepper on this one, ha

Iko iko
Iko iko un day
Jock-a-mo fee-no ah nan day
Jock-a-mo fee-na nay

Now my grandma and your grandma
Were talking by the fie-yo
My grandma told your grandma
"We're gonna party on the bayou"

Talking 'bout hey now (hey now)
Hey now (hey now)
Iko iko un day
Jock-a-mo fee-no ah nan day
Jock-a-mo fee-na nay

That's it, man! Hit it out one time. Here we go

Now my pawpois and your pawpois
Swimming up the bayou
My pawpois told your pawpois
"I'm gonna jump into the sky-yo"

Now my best friend and your best friend
Were sitting on the bayou
My best friend told your best friend
"My nan's pawpois jumped so high-yo"

Talking 'bout hey now (hey now)
Hey now (hey now)
Iko iko un day
Jock-a-mo fee-no ah nan day
Jock-a-mo fee-na nay

Now take it up for the second time, man! Here we go. Bring it, man

Oh you see that girl all dressed in green
Iko iko un day
She's not a girl, she's a mermaid queen
Jock-a-mo fee-na nay

Now my little boy told your little boy
"Oh me oh my-o"
My little boy told your little boy
"We'll be jamming on the bayou"

Talking 'bout hey now (hey now)
Hey now (hey now)
Iko iko un day
Jock-a-mo fee-no ah nan day
Jock-a-mo fee-na nay

The third time, man, we're going higher! Everybody, now

We're going down to mermaid town
Iko iko un day
We're gonna jazz and jam around
Jock-a-mo fee-na-nay

Now you tell 'em one and tell 'em two
Iko iko un day
Cos we're gonna dance the whole night through
With jock-a-mo fee-na-nay

Talking 'bout hey now (hey now)
Hey now (hey now)
Iko iko un day
Jock-a-mo fee-no ah nan day
Jock-a-mo fee-na nay

Talking about hey
That's the fourth time and the last time we're doin' it
'Cause it's getting too high to sing! Come on now

Iko (iko) iko (iko)
Iko iko un day
Iko (iko) iko (iko)
Iko iko un day
Iko (iko) iko (iko)
Iko iko un day
