[00:00.00]The White Stripes - Icky Thump
[00:10.00]
[00:20.88]Yah-hee, "icky-thump" who’d a-thunk
[00:22.58]Sittin’ drunk on a wagon to Mexico
[00:25.25]Her hair, what a chump on my head
[00:26.80]Got a bump when I hit it on the radio
[00:30.74]Red-head "señorita" lookin’ dead
[00:31.77]Came to said I need a bed in "español"
[00:35.03]So I gave a drink of water
[00:36.61]I’m gonna sing around the collar
[00:37.80]But I don’t need a microphone
[00:39.56]
[01:17.45]"Icky thump", with the lump
[01:19.24]In my throat,grab my coat
[01:20.52]And now it’s reckon that I was ready to go
[01:23.44]Well I swam beside her head
[01:24.64]She had to wonder why I one blank stare
[01:26.90]Lookin’ like a nightmare
[01:28.39]On a stand in her hair was a kid that came
[01:30.31]Black room, sugar cane
[01:31.40]Jive on some strings
[01:32.81]La la la ...
[01:38.63]
[02:20.88]Well Americans want nothing better to do
[02:23.01]Why don’t you kick yourself out?
[02:24.29]You’re an immigrant too
[02:25.78]Who’s usin’ who?What should we do?
[02:27.72]Well you can’t be a pimp and a prostitute too
[02:31.99]
[02:36.45]"Icky thump", handcuffed to a bunk
[02:38.00]Robbed blind,looked around
[02:39.17]And there was nobody else
[02:41.03]Left alone I hit myself with the stone
[02:43.20]Went home and learned how to clean up after myself
[02:46.33]
