 (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
 
               C     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)
