Subject: Lyr Add: KOKOMO (Beach Boys)
How about a lite little number by the Beach Boy's Mike Love and copyrighted 1988 by Disney's BuenaVista for the movie Cocktail

KOKOMO

4/4 key of C

(Refrain)
Aruba, Jamaida, Oh I wanna take ya.
Bermuda, Bahama, cone on pretty mama.
Key Largo, Mentego, Baby why don't we go,
Jamaica. Off the Florida Keys.
We'll put out to sea.

There's a place called Kokomo.
That's where we wnat to go to get a way from it all.
Bodies in the sand, Tropical drink melting in your hand.
We'll be falling in love - to the rhythm of a steeldrum band
Down in Kokomo, Jamaica, so I wanna take ya to
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Mentego, baby, why don't we go. Kokomo. We'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow.
That's where we wanna go.
Way down in kokomo

Martinique, that Montserrat mystique.
Port Au Prince, I wanna catch a glimpse

(Refrain)
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.
The dreamy look in you eye, gives me a tropical contact high
Way down in Kokomo.

Every body know a little place like Kokomo.
Now if you wanna go to get a away from it all
Go down to Kokomo.

(Refrain)
