Lyrics:
Hey...KOKOMO!
Talk to me baby, whisper in my ear
Talk to me baby, whisper in my ear...
When I holler Hey...KOKOMO!
I heard what you told me, heard what you said
I heard what you told me, hear what you said...
Don't worry my pretty...won't lose my head!
Don't you know...I love you so
Don't you know...I love you so...
When I holler, Hey...KoKoMo!
Ko-Ko-Ko-KOKOMO...Ko-Ko-Ko-KOKOMO
Ko-Ko-Ko-KOKOMO...Ko-Ko-Ko-KOKOMO...
(clarinet rift)
bood-lee, bood-lee, bood-lee,
bood-lee, bood-lee, boo-day...
She got dimples on her elbows
dimples on her knees...(dimples on her elbows and her knees)
she got dimples on her elbows
dimples on her knees...(what a couple, couple purty knees)
she thrills, she chills me...
(MMMMM-Boy!)with just a little squeeze.
Want you to know...I love you so
Want you to know...I love you so...
When I holler Hey...(orchestral rift)
KOKOMO!
