John Prine - KOKOMO lyrics

"mmmmmmm"

In a small fishing village

Northeast of Guam

Sits a fine young chap

Holding hands with his mom

As the fish swim by

So does Joe

For his body is in Guam

But his mind is in Kokomo

"Kokomo, Indiana

Kokomo, Indiana"

"mmmmmmmm"

I long to be

Inside my home

Where the rafters are thick

With mens cologne

"mens cologne"

For if I were a tree

I know where I would grow

But my body is in Guam

My mind is in Kokomo

"Kokomo, Indiana

Kokomo, Indiana"

"mmmmmmmm"

It's a large swimming pool

That will light up at night

With cigarette girl

And groom dressed in white

"dressed in white"

As the organ plays a song

The crowd doesn't know

For their bodies are in Guam

But their minds are in Kokomo.

"Kokomo, Indiana

Kokomo, Indiana"
