Icky Thump

Lyrics

Ah, icky thump, who'da 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 looking dead
 Came and said, "Need a bed?" in 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, looking up, lying 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 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
