KOW KOW As recorded by Steve Miller Band (From the 1969 Album BRAVE NEW WORLD) [Intro]          x3 [Verse 1] Kow kow calqulator Was a very smooth operator Had himself a pet alligator Kept it in a chrome elevator yeah When the sun began to shine The alligator come outside Kow kow played the chimes Together they would go for a ride As they travelled with a heavy load They came across a dead horse at the side of the road With two generals standing at each end Fighting over whose fault it had been And all that’s left  was this war And they couldn’t get things back together like they were before Well listen [Bridge] Turn on your love light Turn it on let it shine Inside your heart Let it shine turn it on Your love light Turn it on Turn it on Let it shine Inside your miiiind [Verse 2] So many times kow kow had heard it said before Oh don’t lord don’t go near that door The cause of our evil you’ll uncover Because of our misery you discover Well misery seeks it’s own company Kow kow had heard it said Now he sits there crying Oh with his hands across his head Kow kow calqulator Oh a very smooth operator Get back in your elevator Kow kow calqulator Turn on your love light Oh oh oh  oh Let it shine

La chanson évoque les aventures d'un personnage appelé Kow Kow, un homme au caractère insouciant et charmeur, qui se déplace avec son alligator dans un ascenseur chromé. Ensemble, ils vivent des péripéties, notamment en croisant un cheval mort pendant une querelle entre deux généraux. Ce passage illustre une lutte inutile, symbolisant la perte et la désunion causées par la guerre. Malgré les plaisanteries qui ponctuent leur voyage, Kow Kow ressent aussi la tristesse et les regrets, confronté à la misère qui l'entoure. La chanson appelle finalement à faire briller la lumière de l'amour dans nos cœurs, comme une invitation à surmonter l'obscurité et à retrouver espoir.
