Icky Thump Lyrics By The White Stripes

    ah icky thump who’da thunk
    sitting drunk on a wagon to mexico
    ahh 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 in español
    i said gimme a drink of 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 looking up lying 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 la la la

    white americans what nothing better to do
    why don’t you kick yourself out you’re an immigrant too
    who’s using 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
