Lyrics

Kooks

Will you stay in our lovers' story?

If you stay you won't be sorry

'Cause we believe in you

Soon you'll grow so take a chance

With a couple of kooks

Hung up on romancing

Will you stay in our lovers' story

If you stay you won't be sorry

'Cause we believe in you

Soon you'll grow so take a chance

With a couple of kooks

Hung up on romancing

We bought a lot of things

To keep you warm and dry

And a funny old crib

On which the paint won't dry

We bought you a pair of shoes

A trumpet you can blow

And a book of rules

On what to say to people

When they pick on you

'Cause if you stay with us

You're gonna be pretty kooky, too

Will you stay in our lovers' story?

If you stay you won't be sorry

'Cause we believe in you

Soon you'll grow so take a chance

With a couple of kooks

Hung up on romancing

And if you ever have to go to school

Remember how they fucked up

This old fool

Don't pick fights

With the bullies or the cads

'Cause I'm not much cop

At punching other people's dads

And if the homework brings you down

Then we'll throw it on the fire

And take the car downtown

Will you stay in our lovers' story

If you stay you won't be sorry

'Cause we believe in you

Soon you'll grow so take a chance

With a couple of kooks

Hung up on romancing

Will you stay in our lovers' story

If you stay you won't be sorry

'Cause we believe in you

Soon you'll grow so take a chance

With a couple of kooks

Hung up on romancing
