Does anyone know of an actual place called something like Cocomo, Cocamo or Kokomo? I'm trying to tie down the lyrics from a Cliff Edwards song from 1936 which lists some of the places he has romantic partners, and there's the line "I've got a sweetie in Kokomo and one does a hulu dance". Can't find any mention of the fictional Kokomo island from the Beach Boys' song prior to 1988, so I'm a bit stumped. Needless to say, I also can't find official lyrics to this "party record" from Cliff.

well when I search “Hawaii Kokomo” on Google maps, something comes out… is that a clue ?

It looks like that's the likely place. Didn't come up at all in my searches, totally supplanted by the Beach Boys!


We’ll get there fast
And then we’ll take it slow
That’s where we wanna go
