The White Stripes - Icky Thump lyrics

rate me

Yah-hee, 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

Red-head senorita

Lookin' dead

Came to said,

"I need a bed" en espa�ol

So I gave a drink of water

I'm gonna sing around the collar

Well, I don't need a microphone

[guitar solo]

[keyboard solo]

Icky thump, with the lump

In my throat

Grab my coat

And now it's reckon

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 laaa laaa laaa

[keyboard solo]

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
