Aruba, Jamaica, oooh I wanna take ya…
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama!
Key Largo, Montego, baby why don't we go?
Jamaica…

Off the Florida Keys, there's a place called Kokomo.
That's where you wanna go to get away from it all.
Bodies in the sand, tropical drink melting in your hand.
We'll be falling in love to the rhythm of a steel drum band.
Down in Kokomo.

Aruba, Jamaica, oooh I wanna take you to Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama!
Key Largo, Montego, baby why don't we go down to Kokomo?
We'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow.
That's where we wanna go, way down to Kokomo.

To Martinique, that Monserrat mystique.

We'll put out to sea and we'll perfect our chemistry.
By and by we'll defy a little bit of gravity.

Afternoon delight, cocktails and moonlit nights.
That dreamy look in your eye give me a tropical contact high.
Way down in Kokomo.

Port Au Prince I wanna catch a glimpse.

Everybody knows a little place like Kokomo.
Now if you wanna go and get away from it all
Go down to Kokomo!
