CHey-ey-ey!
CIt's Friday night the schmucks are out, the worthless people cruising around
Fand causing fights, Chey that's alright!
CI said God and I are on our thrones,and telling ya'll just where to go.
FWell it might be hell, Cwon't that be swell?
'Cause Gsoon you'll Fall be CdeadG  
CMarkland Mall is where to go when you're a punk and you don't know
Fwhat to do with yourself, Clike everybody else
Cspend your money try to get laid, work your ass of but don't get paid
FIt's Kokomo! Baby Cdontcha know? Well Gtonight, the fFlames will CglowG  
CMy face is turning red
Eso why don't you go ahead
Amand have your fun at me stupid Fpeople
CI've been wasting all my time
Eused to care but never mind.
AmFireballs out of my eyes burning down your FtempleG  
CWell you know I've had it up to here, pretending like I just don't care
Fabout things like you, but CI know I do
CYou prance around conspicuously, innuendos aimed at me
Fbut not for long, 'cause soon Cyou'll be gone
Gwhen I set your Fface on CfireG  
CNow mine is turning red
Eso why don't you go ahead
Amand have your fun at me stupid Fpeople
CI've been wasting all my time
Eused to care but never-mind
AmFireballs out of my ass burning down your FtempleG  
Am  F  C  G
Am  F  C  G
AmI'm a fire-starting mama, I'm a nasty fiend
Fpeople are grass if you know what I mean
Cyou light em all up and you watch em burn.
GFire purifies so you let em squirm
AmI'm tired of the world dragging me down
Fset it on fire burn it to the ground.
Cbuild it back up when it's nothing but ash
Gbringing in the future with regard to my past

'Cause soon you'll all be dead

spend your money try to get laid, work your ass of but don't get paid

F C G F C G

It's Kokomo! Baby dontcha know? Well tonight, the flames will glow

Fireballs out of my eyes burning down your temple

Well you know I've had it up to here, pretending like I just don't care

set it on fire burn it to the ground.

build it back up when it's nothing but ash

bringing in the future with regard to my past
