Hoola Hoop
Kris Kristofferson · Natural Act [1978]
Somewhere in the hiearchies Mr. Big picks up his horn
Floats a note down to the lowlands and another star is born
Then he turns another billion and he deals a little porn
Hoo hoola hoop, hoo hoola hoop, hoo hoola hoop.
I ain't never been to art school but I kinda like Picasso
All his women look Egyptian but then what the hell do I know
He's a No. 1 attraction like a bottle to a wino
You could say he was a hoo hoola hoop, hoo hoola hoop, hoo hoola hoop.
If you're bound to be a big star then you better do it right
Got to get yourself an agent and a healthy appetite
For some overpaid attention and a lot of neaon lights
That right and you can be a hoo hoola hoop, hoo hoola hoop, hoo hoola hoop.
Somewhere in the hiearchies Mr. Big picks up his horn
Floats a note down to the lowlands and another star is born
Then he turns another billion and he deals a little porn
Hoo hoola hoop, hoo hoola hoop, hoo hoola hoop...
