Kooks Lyrics

written by David Bowie; taken from the "Hunky Dory" album  


Chorus (2x):  
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  
I 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  


Chorus

 
And if you ever have to go to school  
Remember how they messed 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 

 
Chorus 2x
