Icky Thump

John Anthony White

Lyrics Translation

Ah, icky thump
Who'd a thunk?
Sittin' drunk on a wagon to Mexico

Ah, well
What a chump
Man my head got a bump
When I hit it on the radio

Redhead señorita
Lookin' dead
Came and said
Need a bed in Español

Said, gimme a drink of water
I'm gonna sing around the collar
And I don't need a microphone

Icky thump
With the lump in my throat
Grab my coat
And I was freaking
I was ready to go

Yeah, 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, something strange

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 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
There was nobody else

Left alone
I hit myself with a stone
Went home
And learned how to clean up after myself

Ah, icky thump
Ah, icky thump
Who'd a thunk?
Quem diria?
Sittin' drunk on a wagon to Mexico
Sentado bêbado em uma carroça para o México
Ah, well
Ah, bem
What a chump
Que idiota
Man my head got a bump
Minha cabeça levou uma pancada
When I hit it on the radio
Quando bati nela no rádio
Redhead señorita
Ruiva señorita
Lookin' dead
Parecendo morta
Came and said
Veio e disse
Need a bed in Español
Preciso de uma cama em Espanhol
Said, gimme a drink of water
Disse, me dê um copo de água
I'm gonna sing around the collar
Vou cantar ao redor da gola
And I don't need a microphone
E eu não preciso de um microfone
Icky thump
Icky thump
With the lump in my throat
Com um nó na minha garganta
Grab my coat
Peguei meu casaco
And I was freaking
E eu estava assustado
I was ready to go
Eu estava pronto para ir
Yeah, I swear besides the hair
Sim, eu juro além do cabelo
She had one white eye
Ela tinha um olho branco
One blank stare
Um olhar vazio
Lookin' up, lyin' there
Olhando para cima, deitada lá
On the stand near her hand
No suporte perto de sua mão
Was a candy cane
Havia uma bengala de doce
Black rum, sugar cane
Rum preto, cana de açúcar
Dry ice, something strange
Gelo seco, algo estranho
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

Icky thump
Icky thump
Handcuffed to a bunk
Algemado a uma beliche
Robbed blind
Roubado cego
Looked around
Olhei em volta
There was nobody else
Não havia mais ninguém
Left alone
Deixado sozinho
I hit myself with a stone
Me acertei com uma pedra
Went home
Fui para casa
And learned how to clean up after myself
E aprendi a limpar depois de mim mesmo
Ah, icky thump
Ah, maldición
Who'd a thunk?
¿Quién lo diría?
Sittin' drunk on a wagon to Mexico
Sentado ebrio en un camión hacía México
Ah, well

Tomé mi abrigo
And I was freaking
Y estaba enloqueciendo
I was ready to go
Estaba listo para irme
Yeah, I swear besides the hair
Sí, juro que además de el cabello
She had one white eye
Ella tenia un ojo blanco
One blank stare
Una mirada vacía
Lookin' up, lyin' there
Mirando hacia arriba, ahí acostada
On the stand near her hand
En la mesa de noche, junto a su mano
Was a candy cane
Había una bastón de dulce
Black rum, sugar cane
Ron negro, azúcar de caña
Dry ice, something strange
Hielo seco, algo extraño
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
