Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I wanna take yaBermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mamaKey Largo, MontegoBaby, why don’t we go?Jamaica

We’ll put out to seaAnd we’ll perfect our chemistryBy and by we’ll defyA little bit of gravityAfternoon delightCocktails and moonlit nightsThat dreamy look in your eyeGive me a tropical contact highWay down in Kokomo
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I wanna take you toBermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mamaKey Largo, MontegoBaby, why don’t we go? (Ooh, I wanna take you down to Kokomo)We’ll get there fastAnd then we’ll take it slowThat’s where we wanna goWay down in Kokomo
