Ya-ya-ya coco jamboo, ya-ya yeah
Put me up, put me down
Put my feet back on the ground
Put me up, take my heart and make me happy
Put me up, put me down
Put my feet back on the ground
Here we go, gettin′ smooth to the groove
Watching lovely ladies, as I smooth as I move
'Cause that′s what they say but I can't prove
So turn it up again and watch me move to the groove
As we get close, you whisper "Coco"
I hold you in my arms and you say "Jamboo"
Scream and shout, turn and say "Colombo"
Now I gotta go, so coco
Put me up, put me down
Put my feet back on the ground
Put me up, take my heart and make me happy
Put me up, put me down
Put my feet back on the ground
Put me up, fill my heart and make me happy

So let me show you ′round while you sip your tea, G
But no coco loco boom while I take a pee, Lee
When I hold my baby, she say I do it nicer
I like my chicken with rice and lemonada
And that's what she get when she shouts out "Jamboo"

The Dance Music Makers’ “Coco Jambo” is a fun and upbeat dance track that immediately encourages listeners to dance along. The lyrics, although somewhat nonsensical, speak of putting someone up and down, and making them happy, which could be interpreted as asking for emotional support and security from a loved one. The singer then describes their smooth moves as they watch lovely ladies and turn up the music. They also talk about holding someone in their arms and whispering loving words like “coco” and “jamboo.” The chorus repeats the phrase “coco jamboo” several times, encouraging everyone to sing and dance along.
The lyrics do not tell a story or convey a strong message but instead exist to create a fun and entertaining song that feels good to dance to. The nonsensical words and phrases encourage listeners not to take the song too seriously but instead just enjoy the music and let loose.
