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!
