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-n?



Look at my king all dressed in red

I-KO, I-KO, un-day. I betcha five dollars he'll kill youdead

Jock-a-mo fee na-n?



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?



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-n?



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-n?



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?
