White Stripes - Icky Thump





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 eye, 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
