Hooky Wooky Songtext
von 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 hooky wooky with you
I wanna hooky wooky with you

The traffic's so noisy it′s a shock
Sounds like fireworks or a gun on the next block
Ah, hooky wooky 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 hooky wooky with you
Ah-ha-ha-ha, I wanna hooky wooky with you

Then they take your pants, your money, your name
But the song still remains, sayin′
I wanna hooky wooky 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 on your roof
I wouldn′t want to throw him off, mmm

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, mmm
Into the chemical sky
Under the wheels of a car to die on canal street


Ah-ah-hi, I wanna, ah, hooky wooky with you
Ah-huh, huh-huh-huh-ah
I wanna hooky wooky 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 hooky wooky
Under the wheels of a car on canal street hooky wooky
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)
