Story Behind The Song
Where do songs come from? Unless creating to fulfill a specific request, for me they just show up. In this instance, I heard the words, Poco Loco and thought what a great song title. That led to the chorus and that to the thematic verse and...voila! a song.

Lyrics
POCO LOCO
Writer: Jimmy Joe Lee
OO-EEE - if they were a little crazy
Whoa- oh oh oh I wish I were poco loco
Orville and Wilber made everyone laugh
When it was found they were trying
To build a machine that they saw in a dream where everyone could go flying
REFRAIN
Benjamin Franklin had surely gone daft
When out in the rain he went kiting
He said it seems to me with a kite and A key I may discover a way to use lightning
REFRAIN
Thomas A Edison though a bit strange
Most folks felt was quite bright
Until one day someone heard him say
I am designing an electrical light
REFRAIN
