LETRA:

Hey, Ko Ko Mo!
Talk to me baby; whisper in my ear.
Talk to me baby; whisper in my ear.
Won’t you come a little closer?
Don’t have no fear.

Don’t you know, I love you so?
Don’t you know, I love you so?
When I holler “Hey! Ko-Ko-Mo!”

I heard what you told me,
Heard what you said.
I heard what you told me,
Heard what you said.
Don’t worry, my pretty, (I) won’t lose my head.

Don’t you know, I love you so?
Don’t you know, I love you so?
When I holler “Hey! Ko-Ko-Mo!”

Ko Ko Ko, Ko Ko Mo!
Ko Ko Ko, Ko Ko Mo!
Ko Ko Ko, Ko Ko Mo!
Ko Ko Ko, Ko Ko Mo!

There’s dimples on her elbows, dimples on her knees ([unsure])
There’s dimples on her elbows, dimples on her knees (Dimples on her elbows and knees)
she thrills an’ she chills me with just a little squeeze! (Mmm, boy!)

Want you to know, I love you so.
Want you to know, I love you so
When I holler, “Hey! Ko-Ko-Mo!”

Ko ko ko ko, Ko Ko mo!
Ko ko ko ko, Ko Ko mo!
Ko ko ko ko, Ko Ko mo!
Hey,
Ko Ko Mo!
