Thread Name: Lyr Req: Iko Iko
Subject: RE: Does Anyone know this song??????
This is a better translation as the end of the lines in the chorus have the "a" written and punctuated.

Talkin' 'bout: Hey now! Hey now!
: Iko, Iko, unday
: Jockamo feeno ai nanÃ
: Jockamo fee nanÃ
: Look at my king all dressed in red.
: Iko, Iko, unday.
: I betcha five dollars he'll kill you dead.
: Jockamo fee nanÃ
: Chorus:
: My flag boy and your flag boy
: Were sittin' by the fire.
: My flag boy told your flag boy:
: "I'm gonna set your flag on fire."
