( Ko-Ko-Mo! Ko-Ko-Mo! Ko-Ko-Mo! . . . )

Talk to me baby, whisper in my ear,
talk to me baby, whisper in my ear,
a come a little closer, don't you 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!"

Heard what you told me, heard what you said!
Heard what you told me, heard what you said!
Don't you worry my purdy, I don't lose my head!

< instrumental break >

There's dimples on my elbows, dimples on her knees,
dimples on my elbows, dimples on her knees,
she thrills an' thrills me, just a little squeeze!

( Ko, Ko, Ko-Ko-Mo! Ko, Ko, Ko-Ko-Mo!
Ko, Ko, Ko-Ko-Mo! )

Don't you know Ko-Ko-Mo that I love you so!
Oh talk to me baby ( talk, talk! ) whisper in my ear ( talk, talk, talk! )
Oh talk to me baby ( talk, talk! ) whisper in my ear ( talk, talk, talk! )
( tell it to me! ) come a little closer, don't you have no fear!

Ah! ~ Don't you know? ~ I love you so!
Don't you know? ~ I love you so!
When I holler "Hey! ( Hey! ) Ko-Ko-Mo!"

( Ko-Ko-Mo! Ko-Ko-Mo! Ko-Ko-Mo! )

Don't you know
I love you Ko-Ko-Mo!

Ko-Ko-Mo!
