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 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, ooh I wanna take you to
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo Montego,
Baby why don't we go
Ooh I wanna 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 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
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you to
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo Montego,
Baby why don't we go
Ooh I wanna 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
Port au Prince, I wanna catch a glimpse...
Everybody knows a little place like Kokomo
Now if you wanna go to get away from it all
Go down to Kokomo
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you to
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo Montego,
Baby why don't we go
Ooh I wanna 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
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, ooh I wanna take you to
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo Montego,
Baby why don't we go
Ooh I wanna 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 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
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you to
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo Montego,
Baby why don't we go
Ooh I wanna 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
Port au Prince, I wanna catch a glimpse...
Everybody knows a little place like Kokomo
Now if you wanna go to get away from it all
Go down to Kokomo
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you to
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo Montego,
Baby why don't we go
Ooh I wanna 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

Also, how else would I know the geographic location of the "Kokomo" mentioned in the song? It's a fictional place.
Me & my friend always thought they were saying "Mah-la-lee, that mozzarella stick.":)
Love this song.
The Norwegian Norbattalion KFPR used it for a video that has has been circulating the net and is actually very well done...
I finally tracked down the Beach Boys original and have to admit that while i love the music, the Beach Boys lyrics are pretty tawdry...
If you get a chance have a look at the other version... it's pretty funny...
Somewhere far overseas
There’s a place called Kosovo
That’s where you don’t want to go
If you’re Albanian at all
Protecting Human Rights
Air strikes and firefights
And we'll be dropping our bombs
Wherever Serbian bad guys hide
Just up from Kosovo
that's my nickel
