Marley's Ghost Iko iko Lyrics:
(Traditional)
Jackimo feen-i-ay! Jackimo feen-i-ay!
You don't like what the big chief say.
He say, Jackimo feen-i-ay!
Jackimo feen-i-ay! Hooray Melinda!
Jackimo feen-i-ay! Jackimo fender!
You don't like what the big chief say.
He say, Jackimo feen-i ay!
Well, my spy boy and your spy boy, sittin' by the bayou.
Yeah, my spy boy and your spy boy, we're
gonna get your chicken by you!
And he say now...
(Chorus:)
Here me sing out
Hey now! (Hey now!)
Hey now! (Hey now!)
Iko Iko on day!
And it's jackimo feeno an-an-day!
Jackimo feen-i-ay!
Well, the little-bitty boy got a heart
of steel (Iko iko an-day!)
and he never would bow and he never would

He was a mighty brave when he sang

And they play wild Injun when the sun go
down. (Jackimo feen-i-ay!)
Well, you see my spy, she all dressed
in green. (Iko iko an-day!)
Yeah, hide the pistol where it can't be

Well, you see my spy, she all dressed

Gonna bury a hatchet in the big chief's
head. (Jackimo feen-i-ay!)
Everybody sing now...

Hear you sing out...
(Chorus)
Well, the Mardi Gras comin' and it
won't be long (Iko iko an-day!)

(Chorus)
And it's jackimo feeno an-an-day!
Jackimo feen-i-ay!
