Lagu Ciptaan Mang Koko
Lain saukur genah mun dihaleuangkeun
Gending sanggiang Mang Koko
Lain saukur genah mun saukur direungeukeun
Tapi oge merenah mun diibingkeun
(Lagu ciptaan Mang Koko bukan sekadar enak kalau didendangkan, gamelan gubahan Mang Koko bukan sekadar enak dimainkan, tetapi juga enak kalau disertai tarian)
