Kokomo
by the Beach Boys
Off the Florida Keys,
There's a place called Kokomo.
That's where you want to 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
Down in Kokomo.
Aruba; Jamaica;
Ooh, I want to take ya to
Bermuda; Bahamas;
Come on, pretty mama!
Key Largo; Montego;
Baby, why don't we go
Down to Kokomo.
We'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow.
That's where we want to go...
Way down in Kokomo.
(Martinique; that Monserrat mystique.)
We'll go 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
Gives me a tropical contact high
Way down in Kokomo.
Aruba; Jamaica;
Ooh, I want to take ya to
Bermuda; Bahamas;
Come on, pretty mama!
Key Largo; Montego;
Baby, why don't we go
Down to Kokomo.
We'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow.
That's where we want to go...
Way down in Kokomo.
(Port au Prince; I want to catch a glimpse.)
[saxophone solo]
Everybody knows
A little place like Kokomo.
Now if you want to go
To get away from it all...
Go down to Kokomo!
Aruba; Jamaica;
Ooh, I want to take ya to
Bermuda; Bahamas;
Come on, pretty mama!
Key Largo; Montego;
Baby, why don't we go
Down to Kokomo.
We'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow.
That's where we want to go...
Way down in Kokomo.
