Kokomo
Little Feat · Down on the Farm [1979]
Now, anybody ever seen her, they call her
Miss Demeanor
Watch the way she slides from side to side
Move so loose, look so good
Plays in every game she could
Now, she smell so sweet, like apple pie
Oh so good 'bout to make me die
For a slice or two I'd be a fool
'Round the neighborhood they say
She don't give no slice away
You can Kokomo in a china cup
Kind of love I need come from deep inside
Feel so good, oh so right
Oh so good and tight
Kokomo with me, Kokomo with me tonight
Now, if you ever, ever see her just call her
Miss Demeanor
Plays in every game, game around
Always keeps her aces down
Broken hearts all over town
You can Kokomo in a china cup
Kind of love I need come from deep inside
Feel so good, oh so right
Oh so good and tight
Kokomo with me, Kokomo with me tonight
Miss Demeanor
Watch the way she slides from side to side
Move so loose, look so good
Plays in every game she could
Now, she smell so sweet, like apple pie
Oh so good 'bout to make me die
For a slice or two I'd be a fool
'Round the neighborhood they say
She don't give no slice away
You can Kokomo in a china cup
Kind of love I need come from deep inside
Feel so good, oh so right
Oh so good and tight
Kokomo with me, Kokomo with me tonight
Now, if you ever, ever see her just call her
Miss Demeanor
Plays in every game, game around
Always keeps her aces down
Broken hearts all over town
You can Kokomo in a china cup
Kind of love I need come from deep inside
Feel so good, oh so right
Oh so good and tight
Kokomo with me, Kokomo with me tonight
