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!)

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 kneel. (jackimo feen-i-ay!)
He was a mighty brave when he sang his song, (iko iko an-day!)
And that's why his name gonna carry on. (jackimo feen-i-ay!)
Here me sing out...

Well, the prettiest thing i ever did see (iko iko an-day!)
Was a mardi gras injun in new orleans. (jackimo feen-i-ay!)

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 seen. (jackimo feen-i-ay!)
Well, you see my spy, she all dressed in red. (iko iko an-day!)
Gonna bury a hatchet in the big chief's head. (jackimo feen-i-ay!)
Everybody sing now...
(chorus)
Hear you sing out...
(chorus)
Well, the mardi gras comin' and it won't be long (iko iko an-day!)
'til the wild tchopatoulas start to carry on. (jackimo feen-i-ay!)
Hear you sing out...
(chorus)
And it's jackimo feeno an-an-day!
Jackimo feen-i-ay!
