My grandma and your grandma were sittin by the fire
My grandma told your grandma I'm gonna set your flag on fire
Talk about hey now, hey now Iko Iko one day
Jock o mo fee na ah nah nay, jock a mo fee na nay
sorry but you just brought back a ton of memories for me. You want to know something really funny? I didn't even gave to look it up to give you those lyrics...I know the whole song by heart! :) The song is called Iko Iko by the Belle Stars and then Cyndi Lauper did a remake of it in the 80's on her album True Colors. Yes I know it's sad that I know that, but hey. Good thing I did otherwise I couldn't have answered your question...LOL

Lots of artists do the song. Here are some lyrics:
My grandma and your grandma
Sittin' by the fire
My grandma said to your grandma
"I'm gonna set your flag on fire"
Chorus
Talkin' bout...
Hey now! Hey now!
Iko, Iko, un ay
Jockamo feeno ai nay'
Jockamo fee na ay'
Look at my king all dressed in red
Iko, Iko, un ay
Betcha five dollars he'll kill ya dead
Jockamo fee na ay'
Chorus
My flag boy and your flag boy
Sittin' by the fire
My flag boy said to your flag boy
"I'm gonna set your flag on fire"
Chorus
Jockamo fee na ay'
Iko!
Chorus
See that guy all dressed in green
Iko, Iko, un ay
He's not a man, he's a lovin' machine
Jockamo fee na ay'
Chorus x2
[Fade to end]
