  • (First snow in Kokomo)
    The first snow in Kokomo
    Off an Indiana highway, I was on my way to Kokomo
    A funny friend named Chuck slipped and bumped his head (oops)
    And as we picked him up, asked us had his nose turned red
    That was the first snow in Kokomo

    Kenny learning to blow his horn
    I was feeling right up to it
    Could it be done, yes, I could do it
    That first snow in Kokomo

    Jimmy Dee playing a bass, he was learning to play
    Applegate discovered a coronet, almost right away
    Reggie expecting a baby, and was Freddy kinda blue
    That was the first snow in Kokomo

    Jimmy Dee has put his bass away (put away)
    And I wonder if Applegate ever learned to play?
    Kenny is really, really blowing his horn
    And a baby named Moishe has been born (pretty little baby)
    Freddy's getting ready to make things right (right on, Freddy)
    Since that first snow
    That first snow in Kokomo (first snow in Kokomo)
    The first snow in Kokomo
    The first snow Writer/s: Aretha Franklin
