Album Cover Hula Hoop

Hula Hoop

T Bone Burnett

5

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 billion

And he deals a little porn

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

Who can blame us?

They tell me way up there they got a man pulls

Fifteen feet of chain out of his brain

Hula Hoop

So if you're bound to hit the big time

Then you better do it right

Go on and get yourself a patent

And a healthy appetite

For some overpaid attention

And a lot of neon light

Then you too can be a Hula hoop
