Spitting in a wishing well
Blown to hell... crash
I'm the last splash
I know you, little libertine
I know you're a real koo koo
Hey now, hey now, ...
Want you, Koo Koo, Cannonball
Hey now, hey now, ...
Want you, Koo Koo, Cannonball
In the shade
In the shade
In the shade
In the shade
I know you, little libertine
I know you're a cannonball
I'll be you're whatever you want
The bong in this reggae song
Hey now, hey now
In the shade
In the shade
Want you, Koo Koo, Cannonball
Want you, Koo Koo, Cannonball
Spitting in a wishing well
Blown to hell... crash
I'm the last splash
I'll be you're whatever you want
The bong in this reggae song
Hey now, hey now
Want you, Koo Koo, Cannonball
Hey now, hey now
Want you, Koo Koo, Cannonball
In the shade
In the shade
In the shade
In the shade
