[Intro: D.O]
Hmm, hmm
[Verse 1: Baekhyun, D.O]
Shimmy-shimmy, ko ko bop, I think I like it
긴장은 down, down, 부끄러 말고
어지러운 마음속에 내가 들어가
익숙한 듯 부드럽게 네게 번져가
[Pre-Chorus: Xiumin, Suho, Kai, Chanyeol]
(Ah-ooh) 고요한 밤이야
(Ah-ooh) 널 위한 밤이야
참을 수가 없어 빠져가, yeah, yeah
너의 몸짓에 난 취해가, yeah, yeah
네가 알던 뻔한 모습의 나를 잊어 오늘
숨겨둔 본능이, shimmy up
[Chorus: Chen, D.O, Suho]
It goes down, down, baby (리듬에 온몸을)
It goes down, down, baby (맡기고)
소리쳐 oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
우린 oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
[Drop: Kai, Chanyeol]
We goin' ko ko bop
(Hey!)
[Verse 2: Xiumin, Sehun]
Shimmy-shimmy, ko ko bop, I think I like it
조금씩 down, down, 수줍어 말고
누가 뭐래도 넌 신경 쓰지 말어
지금 이대로 아름답기만 해
멈춰버렸음 해, baby, are you down?
[Pre-Chorus: Baekhyun, Chen, Suho, Chanyeol]
(Ah-ooh) 마지막 밤이야
(Ah-ooh) 둘만의 밤이야
긴장하지 말고 다가와, yeah, yeah
네 모든 걸 내게 맡겨봐, yeah, yeah
점점 풀려 가는 고삐 더 내려놔 오늘
눈치 보지 말고 shakin' up
[Chorus: Baekhyun, Suho, Chen, Suho & Chen]
It goes down, down, baby (리듬에 온몸을)
It goes down, down, baby (맡기고)
소리쳐 oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
우린 oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
[Drop: Sehun, Chanyeol, Kai]
Break it down now (Hey)
We go down now (LISTEN)
[Bridge: D.O, Chen, Chanyeol, Sehun, (Kai)]
밤은 깊어도 더 빛나는 너
너의 그 눈빛이 (Yo-yo) 다 내게 말해 (Yo-yo)
기분 좋은 밤 넌 원하고 있어 (Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh)
알아 it's okay 이제 시작해 (Let's go)
It's about to go, go
[Chorus: Xiumin, Chanyeol, Baekhyun, Chen]
Down, down, baby (It's going down, 리듬에 온몸을)
It goes down, down, baby (It's going down, 맡기고)
소리쳐 oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (Oh)
우린 oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (Oh)
Goin' ko ko bop (Goin' ko ko bop)
[Post-Chorus: D.O, Kai, Suho, Baekhyun]
Down, down, baby (Down, down, down, yeah, 귓가에 속삭여)
It goes down, down, baby (We're going down, yeah, 내 맘을)
불태워 oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (Oh)
미쳐 oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (Oh)
Goin' ko ko bop

There’s no real correct answer, but “koko” is a fun word, and “bop” refers to dance, so we combined it to mean “fun danci...
No. The phrase came earlier from a 1959 hit, which then immortalized the dance:
Left foot forward, right one back
Bring them side by side
Uh, syncopate your last two steps
Now you’re going to glide
