Draggin’ our feet on the way to school
Rather be headed for a swimming pool
When Bobby said he’d heard all about this place
Where the ladies dance all night and day

School bell rung, already late
We flipped a coin to decide our fate
When the quarter read heads took it for a sign
Two young boys with a one track mind

Kokomo Joe’s had a history
That fueled our schoolboys’ fantasy
Ditched our teacher and cut her class
Both in a hurry to grow up fast
Hey, ho, it’s right down the road
When we get there we’ll just peek in the window
Everything that we need to know
Is down at Kokomo Joe’s’

We stashed our books in a berry bush
And took a shortcut through the woods
We saw it shimmer in the heat waves up ahead
Sure didn’t look like Bobby said

Kokomo Joe’s had a history
That fueled our schoolboys’ fantasy
Ditched our teacher and cut her class
Both in a hurry to grow up fast
Hey, ho, it’s right down the road
When we get there we’ll just peek in the window
Everything that we need to know
Is down at Kokomo Joe’s’

We stared through a grimy window and a dense white smoky haze
We spied some fishnet stockings on a pair of chubby legs
She musta weighed 300 pounds with a high pitched squeaky voice
We ran home fast as we could go just happy to be boys

Kokomo Joe’s had a history
That fueled our schoolboys’ fantasy
Ditched our teacher and cut her class
Both in a hurry to grow up fast
Hey, ho, it’s right down the road
When we get there we’ll just peek in the window
Everything that we need to know
Is down at Kokomo Joe’s’
