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
