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 bet-cha five dol-lars 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 lov-in' ma-chine.--
Jock-a mo fee na-né.--
(Repeat Chorus)
