Lyrics of Icky Thump by The White Stripes

verse

Ah, icky thump, who'da thunk?
Sittin' drunk on a wagon to Mexico
Ah well, what a chump
Well, my head got a bump
When I hit it on the radio

verse

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"

verse

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

verse

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

verse

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
Writer(s): John Anthony White
