Lyrics
In a small fishing village
Northeast of Guam
Sits a fine young chap
Holding hands with his mom
As the fish swim by
So does Joe
For his body is in Guam
But his mind is in Kokomo
I long to be
Inside my home
Where the rafters are thick
With men's cologne
"Men's cologne"
For if I were a tree
I know where I would grow
But my body is in Guam
My mind is in Kokomo
It's a large swimming pool
That will light up at night
With cigarette girl
And groom dressed in white
"Dressed in white"
As the organ plays a song
The crowd doesn't know
For their bodies are in Guam
But their minds are in Kokomo.
Writer(s): Mack Gordon, Joseph Myron
