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 so noisy it's a shock

And someone's shooting fireworks

Or a gun on the next block



Ah-ah-ah, I wanna hookywooky with you ...



Traffic's so noisy it's a shock

Sounds like fireworks or a gun on the next block



A 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, ah-ah-ah

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



Ah-ah-ah, I wanna hookywooky with you ...



They take your pants your money your name

But the song still remains



I wanna hookywooky with you



You're so civilized it hurts

I guess I could learn a lot

About people plants and relationships

And how not to get hurt a lot

And each lover I meet up your roof

I wouldn't want to throw them off

Into the chemical sky

Down into the streets to die

Under the wheels of a car on Canal Streets

And each lover I meet up on your roof

I wouldn't want to throw them off

Into the chemical sky

Under the wheels of a car to die on Canal streets



Ah-ah- I, I wanna hookywooky with you ...



I wouldn't want to throw them off

Into the chemical sky, down into the streets to die

Under the wheels of a car on Canal streets



Under the wheels of a car on Canal Streets ...
