White Stripes

Icky Thump

Ya-eee! Icky thump, who'd a thunk?

Sittin' drunk on a wagon to Mexico

Ah well, what a chump, well my head

Got a bump when I hit it on the radio

Redhead señorita lookin' dead

Came and said, "Need a bed?" en español

Said give me a drink of water

I'm gonna sing around the collar

Well, I don't need a microphone

Icky thump with the lump in my throat

Grabbed my coat and I was freaking, I was ready to go

Yeah, I swear, beside the hair she had one white eye

One blank stare, lookin' up, lyin' there

On a stand near her hand was a candy cane

Black rum, sugar cane, dry ice, somethin' strange

La la la

White 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
