| Co-Co would dream of dancing
|
| At midnight beneath the stars
|
| 'Cos when it comes to dancing
|
| Co-Co's a star!
|
| He danced in a ring of fire
|
| That circled the island shore
|
| And as the flames got higher
|
| They’d all call for more and more
|
| Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
|
| Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
|
| Ho-chika-ka-ho go go Co-Co
|
| Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
|
| Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
|
| Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho go go Co-Co
|
| Across the silver water
|
| The sound of the island drums
|
| Echoing Co-Co's laughter
|
| Yeah, Co-Co's the one
|
| He moves with the cool of moonlight
|
| Under a tropic sky
|
| Then into the morning sunlight
|
| He’d still hear them cry and cry
|
| Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
|
| Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
|
| Ho-chika-ka-ho go go Co-Co
|
| Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
|
| Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
|
| Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho go go Co-Co
|
| Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
|
| Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
|
| Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho go go Co-Co…
|
| Tell me is it really true
|
| This feelin' that I feel for you
|
| Your own kind of lovin'
|
| That makes me think
|
| Nothing could ever take the place of you
|
| And it’s so funny funny
|
| What you do, honey, honey
|
| What you do, what you mean to me
|
| And you know, honey, honey
|
| Though it’s so funny funny
|
| That you mean all the world to me
|
| Ever since you came my way
|
| I knew it was my lucky day
|
| The sun started shinin'
|
| When you started smiling
|
| And I know it’s gonna stay that way
|
| And it’s so funny funny
|
| What you do, honey, honey
|
| What you do, what you mean to me
|
| And you know, honey, honey
|
| Though it’s so funny funny
|
| That you mean all the world to me
|
| Can’t imagine lovin' anyone but you
|
| (Honey honey, so funny funny)
|
| Every minute lovin' everything you do
|
| (Honey honey, so funny funny)
|
| Couldn’t see my way without you
|
| Now I gotta tell the world about you
|
| Tell me is it really true
|
| This feelin' that I feel for you
|
| Your own kind of lovin'
|
| That makes me think
|
| Nothing could ever take the place of you
|
| And it’s so funny funny
|
| What you do, honey, honey
|
| What you do, what you mean to me
|
| And you know, honey, honey
|
| Though it’s so funny funny
|
| That you mean all the world to me
|
| In the midday sun they beat on their drums
|
| When poppa Joe comes to town
|
| With his coconut rum they can all have fun
|
| They can drink it till the sun goes down
|
| Poppa Joe just smiles politely
|
| With the money he takes he might be
|
| Very rich one day as he hears them say:
|
| Poppa, rumbo, rumbo
|
| Hey, Poppa Joe, coconut
|
| Poppa Joe, hey, Poppa Joe
|
| Poppa, rumbo, rumbo
|
| Hey, poppa Joe, coconut
|
| Hey, poppa Joe
|
| Hey, poppa Joe
|
| Hey, poppa, poppa Joe
|
| Never see a sad face in the market-place
|
| When poppa Joe comes around
|
| For his coconut taste you can see them race
|
| Thru' the streets you can hear the sound of the ladies laughing gaily
|
| Poppa Joe still thinking may be
|
| He’ll always hear the people say:
|
| Poppa, rumbo, rumbo
|
| Hey, poppa Joe, coconut
|
| Hey, poppa Joe
|
| Hey, poppa Joe
|
| Hey, poppa, poppa Joe |
