Ah Icky thump Who′da thunk

Sittin' drunk on a wagon to MexicoAh 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" En Español

I said "gimme a drink a 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

Lookin' up lyin′ 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 laaa laaa laaa

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
