Ramona
The Coffis Brothers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've never been to this part of the country
I must admit that I'm finding it quite fun
Oh baby last night got a little funky
Feelings were shared your friends were impaired and then some

Hey Ramona I met you in Tacoma we stayed up talking
'Til the early morning
Holy toledo I think it's pretty neato
Your first name rhymes with the town that you were born in

I've always thought you were so instrumental
I must confess I gave it my best it's true
Oh baby you know I get so sentimental
When that record is on it was your favorite song to dance to

Hey Ramona I met you in Tacoma we stayed up talking
'Til the early morning
Holy toledo I think it's pretty neato
Your first name rhymes with the town that you were born in
You were born in
Hey Ramona

Hey Ramona I met you in Tacoma we stayed up talking
'Til the early morning
Holy toledo I think it's pretty neato
Your first name rhymes with the town that you were born in
Hey Fernando I met you in Orlando
Holy toledo I think it's pretty neato
Your first name rhymes with the town that you were born in

Hey Samantha (I met you out in Tampa)
Bye bye Felicia (that must've been Benicia)




Hey Valentino (we had some fun in Reno)
Oh Ramona
