Kokomo Lyrics

[00:06.02] Aruba, Jamaica, oh, I want to take ya
[00:09.95] Bermuda, Bahama, come on, pretty mama
[00:14.08] Key Largo, Montego, baby, why don't we go, Jamaica
[00:19.24] Off the Florida Keys, there's a place called Kokomo
[00:29.38] That's where you wanna go to get away from it all
[00:37.65] Bodies in the sand, tropical drink melting in your hand
[00:45.84] We'll be falling in love to the rhythm of a steel drum band
[00:52.29] Down in Kokomo
[00:53.69] Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I want to take ya to
[00:57.65] Bermuda, Bahama, come on, pretty mama
[01:01.74] Key Largo, Montego, baby, why don't we go (ooh)
[01:04.72] I want to take you down to Kokomo
[01:08.03] We'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow
[01:12.56] That's where we want to go, way down in Kokomo
[01:19.15] Martinique, that Montserrat mystique
[01:23.05] We'll put out to sea and we'll perfect our chemistry
[01:31.40] And by and by we'll defy a little bit of gravity
[01:40.17] Afternoon delight, cocktails and moonlit nights
[01:48.00] That dreamy look in your eye, give me a tropical contact high
[01:54.29] Way down in Kokomo
[01:56.06] Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I want to take ya to
[02:00.18] Bermuda, Bahama, come on, pretty mama
[02:04.27] Key Largo, Montego, baby, why don't we go (ooh)
[02:06.82] I want to take you down to Kokomo
[02:10.42] We'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow
[02:14.77] That's where we want to go, way down in Kokomo
[02:21.17] Port au Prince, I want to catch a glimpse
[02:26.61]
[02:42.54] Everybody knows a little place like Kokomo
[02:50.56] Now if you want to go and get away from it all
[02:56.61] Go down to Kokomo
[02:58.26] Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I want to take ya to
[03:02.58] Bermuda, Bahama, come on, pretty mama
[03:06.56] Key Largo, Montego, baby, why don't we go (ooh)
[03:09.35] I want to take you down to
[03:12.63] We'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow
[03:17.24] That's where we want to go, way down in Kokomo
[03:23.10] Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I want to take ya to
[03:27.38] Bermuda, Bahama, come on, pretty mama
[03:31.45] Key Largo, Montego, baby...
[03:34.19]
