«Kooks», David Bowie

[CHORUS (x2)]

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 Kookie 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 (repeat ad inf.)]
