Hello!
I am looking for the lyrics of a song, but I don't remember the exact title
or the name of the group but it was very popular some years ago. I think
many people know it... I remember only a few words cause my listening
comprehension of english is not so great:
...Aruba, bahama come on pretty mama...
.... key largo, montego - uuh I wanna take you to the cocomoon..
.....Everybody knows a little place like cocomoon....
Does anybody remember?
Thanks
Rocky

the song is "Kokomo" by the Beach Boys. It is available on the "Beach Boys Made
in the USA", (Capitol label #546324) tape and CD, also on the soundtrack album
from the movie "Cocktail".

That was "Kokomo" by the Beach Boys.
Kermit and the Muppets did a pretty good version of it, too.

THE BEACH BOYS - KOKOMO

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh 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 want to 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

CHORUS
Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you to Bermuda
Bahama, come on, pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego, ooh I want to take you down to
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 Monserat 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

CHORUS

Port Auprince, I wanna catch glimpse
Everybody knows a little place like Kokomo
Now if you wanna go to get away from it all
Go down to Kokomo

CHORUS
