The Dixie Cups The Dixie Cups are an American pop music girl group of the 1960s. They are best known for their 1964 million selling disc, "Chapel of Love", which hit top of the charts, knocking The Beatles' "Love Me Do" out of the top spot. This earned the girls their first gold record. Thus The Dixie Cups were the first American group to "take back" the U.S. Cash Box and Billboard charts from the British Invasion. Today, The Dixie Cups continue to perform on the concert circuit, thrilling audiences with their pristine harmonies.

Lyrics

My grand-ma and your grand-ma were
Sit-tin by the fire. - my grand-ma told
Your grand-ma: Im gon-na set your flag on fire.--

Chorus:
Talk-in bout, hey now ! hey now ! i-ko, i-ko, un-day
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-n. - jock-a-mo fee na-n.-

Look at my king all dressed in red.-
I-ko, i-ko, un-day. I bet-cha five dol-lars hell kill you dead.--
Jock-a-mo fee na-n

(repeat chorus)

My flag boy and your flag boy were
Sit-tin by the fire. - my flag boy told
Your flag boy: Im gon-na set your flag on fire.

(repeat chorus)

See that guy all dressed in green ? -
I-ko, i-ko, un-day. hes not a man;
Hes a lov-in ma-chine.--
Jock-a mo fee na-n.--
