Lyric

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I wanna take yaBermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mamaKey Largo, MontegoBaby, why don’t we go?Jamaica
Off the Florida KeysThere’s a place called KokomoThat’s where you wanna goTo get away from it allBodies in the sandTropical drink melting in your handWe’ll be falling in loveTo the rhythm of a steel drum bandDown in Kokomo
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I wanna take you toBermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mamaKey Largo, MontegoBaby, why don’t we go? (Ooh, I wanna take you down to Kokomo)We’ll get there fastAnd then we’ll take it slowThat’s where we wanna goWay down in Kokomo
Martinique, that Montserrat mystique
We’ll put out to seaAnd we’ll perfect our chemistryBy and by we’ll defyA little bit of gravityAfternoon delightCocktails and moonlit nightsThat dreamy look in your eyeGive me a tropical contact highWay down in Kokomo
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I wanna take you toBermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mamaKey Largo, MontegoBaby, why don’t we go? (Ooh, I wanna take you down to Kokomo)We’ll get there fastAnd then we’ll take it slowThat’s where we wanna goWay down in Kokomo
Port au Prince, I wanna catch a glimpse
Everybody knows a little place like KokomoNow if you wanna go to get away from it allGo down to Kokomo
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I wanna take you toBermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mamaKey Largo, MontegoBaby, why don’t we go? (Ooh, I wanna take you down to Kokomo)We’ll get there fastAnd then we’ll take it slowThat’s where we wanna goWay down in Kokomo
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I wanna take you toBermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mamaKey Largo, MontegoBaby, why don’t we go? (Ooh, I wanna take you down to)
