Poolside Music

While the children were outside today, we decided to play some music for them. It wasn't a real song time so they were singing in small voices as they played in the pools. We sang about 8 songs and one of our favorites. It is called Iko, Iko. Here are the lyrics. (There are many different versions of this song.)

My grandma and yo’ grandma sittin’ by the fire.
My grandma says to yo’ grandma gonna set yo’ tail on fire.

Talkin ‘bout Hey Now (Hey Now), Hey Now (Hey Now) Iko, Iko all day.
Ja ka mo fi no na na ne, Ja ko mo fi na ne.

My grandpa and yo’ grandpa sittin’ by the fire.
My grandpa says to yo’ grandpa gonna set yo’ tail on fire.

Talkin ‘bout Hey Now (Hey Now), Hey Now (Hey Now) Iko, Iko all day.
Ja ka mo fi no na na ne, Ja ko mo fi na ne.

My big chief and yo’ big chief sittin’ by the fire.
My big chief says to yo’ big chief gonna set yo’ tail on fire.

Talkin ‘bout Hey Now (Hey Now), Hey Now (Hey Now)Iko, Iko all day.

Ja ka mo fi no na na ne, Ja ko mo fi na ne.
