[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
And I wanna hookywooky with you
I wanna hookywooky with you
[Verse 2]
The traffic's so noisy it's a shock
Sounds like fireworks or a gun on the next block
Ah, hookywooky with you
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
You're so civilized it hurts, I guess I could learn a lot, 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, 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
[Outro]
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-hookywooky
(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)
