Hey, now
Say what?
Iko (Iko), iko (Iko)
Iko iko an dey
Shaka mon ina ina ye
Shaka mon ina ye
Make up a verse to this silly song
And sing it to your sister
Rhyming in time, you can't go wrong
Sing your sister a real tongue twister
You bring your accordion
And I'll bring my guitar
A saxophone will bring it on home
We'll shake up the dining car
I say hey now (Hey now), hey now (Hey now)
Iko iko an dey
Shaka mon ina ina ye
Shaka mon ina ye
That's why
Hey, now
Say what?
Iko (Iko), iko (Iko)
Iko iko an dey
Shaka mon ina ina ye
Shaka mon ina ye
My little boy and your little boy
Playing catch with a tomato
Your boy missed my very best throw
Made ketchup on a gator
My grandma and your grandma
Were sitting by the bayou
My grandma told your grandma
"Let's cook some jambalaya"
I say hey now (Hey now), hey now (Hey now)
Iko iko an dey
Shaka mon ina ina ye
Shaka mon ina ye, hey
Hey, now
Say what?
Say iko (Iko), iko (Iko)
Iko iko an dey
Shaka mon ina ina ye
Shaka mon ina ye
There's a fine old train comes by today
Chugging down the track
We can hear it from a mile away
Clickety-clack, clickety-clack, clickety-clack
I say iko (Iko), iko (Iko)
Iko iko an dey
Shaka mon ina ina ye
Shaka mon ina ye, hey
Look out now
Hold on
Hey, now
What? Yes, sir
