Hookywooky - Lou Reed

I’m standing with you on your roof

looking at the chemical sky

All purple blue and oranges

some pigeons flying by The traffic on Canal Street’s so noisy

it’s a shock

And someone’s shooting fireworks or a gun

on the next block

An-an-and, I wanna HookyWooky with you

I wanna HookyWooky with you

The traffic’s so noisy it’s a shock

sounds like fireworks or a gun on the next block

Ah, HookyWooky with you

Your ex-lover Satchel is here from France

yet another ex They gather about you like a Mother Superior

all of you still friends, but —

None of my old flames ever talk to me when things

end for me they end

They take your pants, your money, your name

but the song still remains

An-an-and, I wanna HookyWooky with you

Ah-ha-ha-ha, I wanna HookyWooky with you

Then they take your pants, your money, your name

but the song still remains, sayin' -

I wanna HookyWooky with you

You’re so civilized it hurts

I guess I could learn a lot, ha-ha…

About people, plants and relationships

how not to get hurt a lot

And each lover I meet up your roof

I wouldn’t want to throw him off, mmmmm.

Into the chemical sky, down into the streets to die

under the wheels of a car on Canal Street

And each lover I meet up on your roof

I wouldn’t want to throw him off, mmmmm.

Into the chemical sky

under the wheels of a car to die on Canal street

Ah-ah-hi, I wanna, ah, HookyWooky with you

ah-huh, huh-huh-huh-ah

I wanna HookyWooky with you

I wouldn’t want to throw him off into the chemical sky

down into the streets to die

Under the wheels of a car on Canal street

Under the wheels of a car on Canal Street

Under the wheels of a car on Canal Street

HookyWooky

Under the wheels of a car on Canal Street

HookyWooky

Under the wheels of a car on Canal Street

Under the wheels of a car on Canal Street

Hooky-Hooky-Hooky-Wooky

(Under the wheels of a car on Canal Street)

(Under the wheels of a car on Canal Street)

(Under the wheels of a car on Canal Street)

(Under the wheels of a car on Canal Street)
