Kokomo Lyrics


Mmm, in a small fishing village
Northeast of Guam
Sits a fine young chap
Holding hands with his momAs the fish swim by
So does Joe
For his body is in Guam
But his mind is in KokomoKokomo, Indiana
Kokomo, IndianaMmm, I long to be
Inside my home
Where the rafters are thick
With men's cologne
Men's cologneFor if I were a tree
I know where I would grow
But my body is in Guam
My mind is in KokomoKokomo, Indiana
Kokomo, IndianaMmm, it's a large swimming pool
That will light up at night
With cigarette girl

And groom dressed in white
Dressed in whiteAs the organ plays a song
The crowd doesn't know
For their bodies are in Guam
But their minds are in KokomoKokomo, Indiana
Kokomo, Indiana

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

The Memphis Jug Band was an American musical group in the 1920s and 1930s. The band featured harmonicas, violins, mandolins, banjos, and guitars, backed by washboards, kazoo, and jugs blown to supply the bass; they played in a variety of musical styles. Between 1927 and 1934 various African-American musicians in the Memphis, Tenn., area grouped around singer, song writer, guitarist, and harmonica player Will Shade (also known as Son Brimmer). The personnel of this jug band varied from day to day, with Shade booking gigs and arranging recording sessions.
