Kokomo- The Beach Boys ( click here to hear the song! )

Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take you


Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama

Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go

Jamaica

Off the Florida Keys


There's a place called Kokomo

That's where you wanna go to get away from it all

Bodies in the sand

Tropical drink melting in your hand

We'll be falling in love

To the rhythm of a steel drum band

We'll put out to sea

And we'll perfect our chemistry

By and by we'll defy a little bit of gravity

Afternoon delight

Cocktails and moonlit nights

That dreamy look in your eye

Give me a tropical contact high

Way down in Kokomo

Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take you


To Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama

Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go



Ooo I wanna take you down to Kokomo

We'll get there fast

And then we'll take it slow

That's where we wanna go

Way down to Kokomo
