(sung to the tune of “Kokomo” by The Beach Boys and with full apologies)
Aruba, jamaica ooo they wanna rake ya
Bermuda, bahamas left us in pajamas
Key largo, montego maybe I will forego
Jamaica
Off the Florida Keys
There’s another hurricane
That’s why we wanna go and get away from it all
Bodies in the sand
Tropical debris slicing up your hand
We’ll be falling in streets
Dodging bullets from all the looting bands
As sand banks overflow
Aruba, jamaica ooo they wanna rake ya
Bermuda, bahamas left us in pajamas
Key largo, montego maybe I will forego
Ooo each archipelago
Storm’ll get there fast
Then it’ll take it slow
That’s why we wanna go
Away from overflow
Season’s at peak, third storm to hit this week
We’ll block out the sea
And board up all openings completely
By and for we’ll restore a little electricity
Afternoons like night
Cancelled last minute flights
That worried look in your eye
Can’t help thinking that we’re going to die
From ocean overflow
Aruba, jamaica ooo they wanna rake ya
Bermuda, bahamas left us in pajamas
Key largo, montego maybe I will forego
Ooo each archipelago
Storm’ll get there fast
Then it’ll take it slow
That’s why we wanna go
Away from overflow
Not convinced, when it hasn’t been here since
Anybody knows
A little hut like a bungalow
When the winds start to blow
It won’t survive this at all
Get out of kokomo
Aruba, jamaica ooo they wanna rake ya
Bermuda, bahamas left us in pajamas
Key largo, montego maybe I will forego
Ooo each archipelago
Storm’ll get there fast
Then it’ll take it slow
That’s why we wanna go
Away from overflow
Aruba, jamaica ooo they wanna rake ya
Bermuda, bahamas left us in pajamas
Key largo, montego maybe I will forego
Ooo each archipelago (repeats)
