Justin Wellington - Iko Iko (My Bestie) Lyrics
"Iko Iko" is a much-covered New Orleans song that tells of a parade collision between two tribes of Mardi Gras Indians and the traditional confrontation. The song, under the original title "Jock-A-Mo", was written and released in 1953 as a single by James "Sugar Boy" Crawford and his Cane Cutters but it failed to make the charts.
Iko Iko (My Bestie) Lyrics In English
Hahaha
Ayo big wave (Welcome)
Turn the mic on
Small Jam alongside J.W.
My bestie and your bestie
Sit down by the fire
Your bestie says she want party
So can we make these flames go higher?
Talkin' 'bout hey now (Hey now), hey now (Hey now)

Start my truck, let's all jump in
Here we go together
Nice cool breeze and big palm trees
I tell you, life don't get no better
Talkin' 'bout hey now (Hey now), hey now (Hey now)
Iko iko an day
Jockomo feena a dan day

A keia mamang gwele
Step on the dancing floor
Hips be winding, DJ rewinding
Take it to the island way
Keio, baby mama
Put on your dancing shoes
One drop it drop it low now, take it to the max now
Jammin' the Small Jam way

Wind up, go down, wind up, go down
Twist your body backwards (Twist it back)
