Icky Thump - The White Stripes


Ya-eee! Icky thump, who&9d a thunk?
Sittin&9 drunk on a wagon to Mexico
Ah well, what a chump, well my head
Got a bump when I hit it on the radio

Redhead señorita lookin&9 dead

Came and said, "Need a bed?" en español

Said give me a drink of water

I&9m gonna sing around the collar

Well, I don&9t need a microphone


Icky thump with the lump in my throat

Grabbed my coat and I was freaking, I was ready to go

Yeah, I swear, beside the hair she had one white eye

One blank stare, lookin&9 up, lyin&9 there


On a stand near her hand was a candy cane

Black rum, sugar cane, dry ice, somethin&9 strange

La la la


White Americans, what, nothin&9 better to do?

Why don&9t you kick yourself out? You&9re an immigrant too

Who&9s usin&9 who? What should we do?

Well you can&9t 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
