  • Co-Co would dream of dancing
    At midnight beneath the stars
    'Cos when it comes to dancing
    Co-Co's a star!
    He danced in a ring of fire
    That circled the island shore
    And as the flames got higher
    They'd all call for more and more

    Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
    Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
    Ho-chika-ka-ho go go Co-Co

    Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
    Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
    Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho go go Co-Co

    Across the silver water
    The sound of the island drums
    Echoing Co-Co's laughter
    Yeah, Co-Co's the one
    He moves with the cool of moonlight
    Under a tropic sky
    Then into the morning sunlight
    he'd still hear them cry and cry

    Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
    Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
    Ho-chika-ka-ho go go Co-Co

    Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
    Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
    Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho go go Co-Co

    Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
    Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co
    Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho go go Co-Co... Writer/s: MICHAEL DONALD CHAPMAN, NICHOLAS BARRY CHINN

  • Zabadak from London, EnglandNote that the band did not play on their first five releases although they sang on them and, indeed, played on the B-sides, which were frequently heavier. The flip of "Co-Co" was "Done Me Wrong Alright", which is an excellent example of this.
