Hula Hoop Lyrics - T Bone Burnett

Way up in the hierarchies 

Mr. Big picks up his horn 

Floats a note down through the lowlands 

And another star is born 

Then he turns another million 

And he deals a little porn 

Hula hoop 

Hula hoop 

Hula hoop 

Well I ain't never been to art school 

But I kind of like Picasso 

All his women look Egyptian 

But then what the hell do I know 

If I had one of his paintings 

I'd only piss it off in Reno 

It's somethin' like a... 

Hula hoop 

Hula hoop 

Hula hoop 

We're all gonna be geniuses 

We're all gonna be famous 

We'll all get in the TV business 

And move up to New York City, who can blame us 

They tell me way up there they got a man pulls 

Fifteen feet of chain out of his brain 

Ain't nothin' but a... 

Hula hoop 

Hula hoop 

Hula hoop 

So if you're bound to hit the big time 

And you wanna do it right 

Go and get yourself a patent and a lot of neon lights 

Then watch them jugs a-fillin' with all your might 

You might get yourself somethin' like a... 

Hula hoop 

Hula hoop 

Hula hoop
