Iko Iko:The Dixie Cups. Hit the top 40 in 1965. The song lyrics are partly Creole French & the song is allegedly about the Mardi Gras. The only music during the whole song is Barbara Hawkins beating time with drumsticks on a Coke bottle. I added the chords. #1. My grandma and your grandma were sittin' by the fire. My grandma told your grandma, I'm gonna set your flag on fire. Chorus: Talkin' 'bout Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now. Iko iko unday. Jockamo feeno ai nan ai, Jockamo fee nan ai. Verse 2: Look at my king all dressed in red. Iko iko unday. I betcha five dollars he'll kill you dead. Jockamo fee nan ai. Chorus: #3. My flag boy and your flag boy, were sittin' by the fire. My flag boy told your flag boy, I'm gonna set your flag on fire. Chorus: #4: See that guy all dressed in green? Iko iko unday. He's not a man, he's a lovin' machine. Jockamo fee nan ai. Chorus: A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
