[C] Aruba Jamaica ooh I want to take ya

Ber[F]muda Bahama come on pretty mama

Key [C] Largo Montego baby why don't we go Ja[F]maica....

Off the Florida [C] Keys [Cmaj7] [Gm7] there's a place called [F] Kokomo

[Fm] That's where you [C] want to go to get a[D7]way from it all [G7]

[C] Bodies in the [Cmaj7] sand

[Fm] We'll be falling in [C] love

To the rhythm of a [D7] steel drum band [G7] down in Koko[C]mo

Chorus:

[C] Aruba Jamaica ooh I want to take ya

We'll [Fm] get there fast and then we'll [C] take it slow

[Am] That's where we [Dm] want to go

[G7] Way down in Koko[C]mo (Martinique that Montserrat mystique)

[C] We'll put out to [Cmaj7] sea [Gm7] and we'll perfect our [F] chemistry

[Fm] By and by we'll de[C]fy a little bit of [D7] gravity [G7]

[C] Afternoon de[Cmaj7]light [Gm7] cocktails and [F] moonlit nights

[Fm] That dreamy look in your [C] eye

Give me a tropical [D7] contact high [G7] way down in Koko[C]mo

Chorus (Port au Prince I wanna catch a glimpse)

[C] Everybody [Cmaj7] knows [Gm7] a little place like [F] Kokomo

[Fm] Now if you [C] wanna go and get a[D7]way from it all [G7]

Go down to Koko[C]mo
