( 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!

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!
