Lyrics Kokomo Kidd - Guy Davis

Back when prohibition
Was the law of the land,
Politicians knew
We didn't understand
That drinking was the way
That laws got made.
They got laid,
And bribes were paid.
When the white bootleggers
Got sent to jail,
Nobody couldn't come
Go to fail,
Except of Kokomo,
Kokomo Kidd.
I'm talking about Kokomo,
Kokomo Kidd.

Now when liquor
Got cut down,
The government almost
Shut down.
They needed a bagman
Who looked like a ragman,
Who better than black man
To come circle whiteman.
Who's gushly fired liquor,
A whole lot quicker
Than a white bootlegger could do.
They call me Kokomo,
Kokomo Kidd.
Call me Kokomo,
Kokomo Kidd.

Buckskin momma
Got her very own drummer
Come down from the mountain
With the money that she counts
For the governor
Of the state down south
On the bottom when I got him
When I shot him in the foot
Trying to keep his size ten
Out of his mouth
They call me Kokomo,
Kokomo Kidd.
My name is Kokomo,
Kokomo Kidd.

Come get the shovel,
Dig a hole, dig a hole papa.
Come get the shovel,
Dig a hole in the ground.
I was living in the rough,
I was livin' out of tough,
I was lifting up the lid,
I was liven' off the grid.
But they found me,
They wanna use my skills.
Gave me money,
So I could pay my bills.
They call me Kokomo,
Kokomo Kidd.
Call me Kokomo,
Kokomo Kidd.

Washington insiders
Want drugs and sex.
It ain't about whose rich
But who can mix.
You cut them the ropes
And who to go to.
Who did your favors
And who do you owe to.
Now office to office
I can hack your email.
Find out if you like
Male or female.
I keep secrets,
If you say so.
But everybody knows
You gotta pay moe'.
To Kokomo,
Kokomo Kidd.
They call me Kokomo,
Kokomo Kidd.

I've calmed all of
Washington's fears
I've kept the supreme court
High for years.
I've got governors, senators
Even representatives
Waiting for my drop off,
Medicine for a bad cough.
I got a meeting at three,
I've gotta bring coke
To the GOP.

They call me Kokomo, Kokomo Kidd.
They call me Kokomo, Kokomo Kidd.
They call me Kokomo, Kokomo Kidd.
They call me Kokomo, Kokomo Kidd.
They call me Kokomo, Kokomo Kidd.

They call me Kokomo, Kokomo Kidd.
They call me Kokomo, Kokomo Kidd.
They call me Kokomo, Kokomo Kidd.
