White Stripes - Icky Thump lyrics

Ya he, icky thump

Who'd a thunk?

Sittin' drunk

On a wagon to Mexico

Her hair

What a chump

And my head

Got a bump

When I hit it on the radio


Redhead senorita

Lookin' dead

Came to, said

'I need a bed' in Espanol


So I gave a drink of water

I'm gonna sing around the collar

Well, I don't need a microphone


Yeah

Icky thump

With the lump

In my throat

Grab my coat

And now it's reckoned

I was ready to go


Yeah, I swam beside the hair

She had one white eye

One blank stare

Lookin' up, lyin' there


On a stand in her hair

Was a candy cane

Black rum, sugar cane

Dry eye

Somethin' strange!


La la

La la la la la la la la la la la la


Well, Americans

What, nothin' better to do?

Why don't you kick yourself out?

You're an immigrant too


Who's usin' who?

What should we do?

Well, you can't be a pimp

And a prostitute too


Icky thump

Handcuffed to a bunk

Robbed blind

Looked around

And there was nobody else


Left alone

I hit myself with a stone

Went home

And learned how to clean up after myself
