Lyrics for Song: Icky Thump
Lyrics for Album: Under Great White Northern Lights [2010]
Yah-hee, icky thump
Who'd-a thunk?
Sittin' drunk
On a wagon to Mexico
Ah well,
What a chump
And my head
Got a bump
When I hit it on the radio
Red-head señorita
Lookin' dead
Came to said,
"Need a bed?" en español
[I] Said, "Gimme [a] drink of water
[I'm] gonna sing around the collar
And I don't need a microphone"
[guitar solo]
[synthesizer solo]
Icky thump, with a lump
In my throat
Grab my coat
And I was freakin'
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, somethin' strange!
La la, la la la la la la la la la laaa laaa laaa
[synthesizer solo]
White Americans:
What, nothin' 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
