Iko Iko
Ayo kids, well, turn the mic on
Young Republic in da house
My bestie and your bestie
Sit down by di fire
Your bestie say she wan' party
So can we make these flames go higher?
Talkin' 'bout hey now (hey now), hey now (hey now)
Iko, iko a nae
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-ney
Jock-a-mo fee na-ey
Start my truck let's all jump in
Here we go together
Nice cool breeze and big palm trees
I'll tell you life don't get no better
Talkin' 'bout hey now (hey now), hey now (hey now)
Iko, iko a nae
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-ney
Jock-a-mo fee na-ey
A keia mamang gwele step on the dancin' floor
Hips be windin', DJ rewindin'
Take it to the island way
Keio baby mama put on your dancin' shoes
One drop it, pop it low now, take it to the max now
Jammin' the small jam way
(Ja-Ja-) Jammin' the small jam way
My bestie and your bestie
Dancin' by di fire
Your bestie say she wan' party
So can we make these flames go higher?
Talkin' 'bout hey now (hey now), hey now (hey now)
Iko, iko a nae
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-ney
Jock-a-mo fee na-ey
Solomon girl straight up right hoochie mama
Make we party non stop in a island banda
Swing those hips and back it up to mi ragga
A chance fi party ladies, do the Dougie Dougie
I'm jammin' island reggae reppin' blue, green and yellow (yellow)
Me tappin on mi beat, make you slow whine for me, baby
Speakers pumpin', people jumpin'
We're jammin' the island way
Shout out to the good time crew
All across the islands
Grab your shoes then we'll two-by-two
And now we're shinin' bright like diamonds
Talkin' 'bout hey now (hey now), hey now (hey now)
Iko, iko a nae (whoa)
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-ney
Jock-a-mo fee na-ey
One drop it, pop it low now, take it to the max now
Jammin' the small jam way
Wind it
Whine up, go down, whine up, go down
Twist your body backwards
We go left left, we go right right
Turn it around and forward
Whine up, go down, whine up, go down
Twist your body backwards
We go left left, we go right right
Turn it around and forward
My bestie and your bestie
Dancin' by di fire
Your bestie say she wan' party
So can we make these flames go higher?
Talkin' 'bout hey now (hey now), hey now (hey now)
Iko, iko a nae
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-ney
