icky thump

White Stripes

IIIIIIIIEEEEEEE
Icky Thump
Who'da thunk?
Sittin' drunk on a wagon to Mexico

Ahh well
What a chump
And my head
Got a bump
When I hit it on the radio

Redhead señorita
Lookin' dead
Came and said
"Need a bed?"
En español

I said
"Gimme a drink of water,
I'm gonna 'sing around the collar'
And I don't need a microphone"

Icky thump
With the lump in my throat
Grab my coat
And I was freaking
I was ready to go!

And I swear
Beside the hair
She had one white eye
One Black (NK) stare
Lookin' up
Lyin' there

On the stand
Beside her hair
Was a candy cane
Black rum, sugar cane
Dry ice, something strange

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

White Americans, what?
Nothing 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
