Our Kokomo Journey

If you don't know The Beach Boys, well, then, you might not get this and need to move out from underneath the rock you've been living under.

The Beach Boys have a song called Kokomo and they basically are just talking about wanting to "get away from it all." The song is a list of some of the top tropical destinations and I've told Dawn that it is now part of our Bucket List to visit every place listed.

So far we've gone on 2 cruises and now our Honeymoon, which has checked 3-4 destinations off the list. We've hit Bermuda, Bahamas, and Jamaica. We didn't stay in Montego Bay (which is just called Montego in the song), but we flew in and out of there, so we're going to claim it for song purposes until we're able to go back ...

(So we're missing) Aruba, (but have) Jamaica


ooo I wanna take ya
To Bermuda


Bahama come on pretty mama





The song is as followed

Aruba, Jamaica ooo 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 ooo 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 

Aruba, Jamaica ooo 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 

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 

(Repeat 3x)
Aruba, Jamaica ooo 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
