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)
