Lyrics

[Intro]

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I wanna take ya

Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama

Key Largo, Montego, baby, why don't we go? Jamaica

[Verse 1]

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

Down in Kokomo

[Chorus]

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I wanna take ya

To Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama

Key Largo, Montego, baby, why don't we go?

Ooh, 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 in Kokomo

[Chorus]

Martinique, that Montserrat mystique

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I wanna take ya

To Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama

Key Largo, Montego, baby, why don't we go?

Ooh, 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 in Kokomo

[Chorus]

Port-au-Prince, I wanna catch a glimpse

[Verse 3]

Everybody knows a little place like Kokomo

Now if you wanna go and get away from it all

Go down to Kokomo

[Chorus]

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I wanna take ya

To Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama

Key Largo, Montego, baby, why don't we go?

Ooh, 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 in Kokomo

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I wanna take ya

To Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama

Key Largo, Montego, baby, why don't we go?
