Icky Thump Lyrics

Icky thump
Who’da thunk?
Sittin’ drunk on a wagon to Mexico?

Ahh well
What a chump
Well my head got a bump
When I hit it on the radio.

Redhead señorita
Looking 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 a lump in my throat
Grabbed my coat
And I was freaking
I was ready to go!

And I swear
Besides the hair
She had; one white eye,
One blank stare
Lookin’ up
Lyin’ there

On the stand
Near her hand
Was a candy cane
Black rum, sugar cane
Dry ice (and) 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 using 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.
