xKOKOMO by The Beach Boys
by Marla Hitunen
(acapella)
Aruba, Jamaica, ew I wanna take ya, Bermuda, bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego, baby why don't we go, Jamaica...
C Em
Off the Florida Keys
Gm F Fm
There's a place called Kokomo
C Dm G
That's where you wanna go to get away from it all
Em
Bodies in the sand
Gm F Fm
Tropical drink melting in your hand
C Dm G
We'll be falling in love to the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in Koko...
[chorus]
C F
Aruba, Jamaica, ew I wanna take ya to Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
C F
Key Largo Montego...Ew I wanna take her down to Kokomo,
Fm C
We'll get there fast & then we'll take slow
Am F G
That's where we wanna go
C
Way down in Koko...Martinique, that Monserate mystique
C Em
We'll put out to sea
F Fm
And we'll perfect our chemistry
C Dm G
By and by we'll defy a little bit of gravity
C Em
Afternoon delight
F Fm
Cocktails and moonlit nights
C Dm G
That dreamy look in your eye give me a tropical contact high
Way down in Koko...
[chorus]
C
Port Au Prince, I wanna catch a glimpse
[instrumental]
C Em
Everybody knows
F Fm
A little place like Kokomo
C Dm G
Now if you wanna go and get away from it all
go down to Koko...
(chorus to fade out)
