Koko Joe - Don & Dewey

Koko Joe

Don & Dewey

(Sonny Bono, Specialty 639, 1958)

In the jungle there's a monkey named Koko Joe
The coolest little monkey that you'll ever know
He don't have a tail like the other monkeys do
It's trimmed and it's swayed and he dyed it blue
Koko Joe, let me tell 'bout a-Koko Joe
Koko Joe, the coolest little monkey in town
Koko, let me tell you, is no squaree
He wears ivy leaguers with a crazy drape
You should see his walk, it's the funniest thing
He changed the stroll to the monkey swing
Koko Joe, let me tell 'bout a-Koko Joe
Koko Joe, the coolest little monkey in town

Koko Joe, let me tell 'bout a-Koko Joe
Koko Joe, the coolest little monkey in town
Koko, that cat really flips the chicks
Got a tall line of chatter that a-really flicks
When they talk about marriage like the other monkeys do
Said look a-here baby, now later for you
Koko Joe, let me tell 'bout a-Koko Joe
Koko Joe, the coolest little monkey in town
Koko Joe, let me tell 'bout a-Koko Joe
Koko Joe, the coolest little monkey in town
