Well, it's Kokomo me baby, Kokomo me right
Kokomo your daddy, I'll be back tomorrow night
Cryin' I, baby don't you want to go, down to that livin' light city,
sweet old Kokomo
Well, it's Kokomo me babe, Kokomo me twice
Kokomo your daddy like you did the other night
Cryin' I, baby don't you wanna go, down to that livin'ice city, sweet
old Kokomo
Well, I ain't never loved, baby, hope I never will
'Cause the way that you been lovin', gonna get somebody killed
Cryin' I, baby don't you want to go, down to that livin' light city,
sweet old Kokomo
