Hooky Lyrics by Sami Grisafe

The Singles 2011-2017

0

[Intro: 4 bars]

[Verse 1]
Well It’s a beautiful day in June
Whatcha doin’ this afternoon
I know there’s work to be done
But baby that don’t sound like fun
I’d rather spend my time on you

You say your sick days have all been used
And you don’t feel like taking the abuse
From the boss-man…well
Honey don’t worry ‘bout that
We’ll send him a post card wherever we’re at
And he can be envious of you

[Pre-Chorus]
I, I, I
Think it’s time

[Chorus]
For a guilty pleasure
Day of leisure
We’ll go and watch the Cubbies play a ball game
Take a lake-side breezy bikе ride
Along the 3rd Coast
Hit a Museum
Wе never see ‘em
Catch a late-night show
There’s a million brilliant places we could go
But there’s no better city that I know
For playing hooky than Chicago

[Hook]
Ooh bop bop
Playing hooky in Chicago
Ooh bop bop

[Verse 2]
What if every day starting tomorrow
The sky was full of clouds
And filled with sorrow
Well I know that you would regret
Not having the day you could never forget
And I’ll just say I told you so

[Pre-Chorus]
I, I, I
Think it’s time

[Chorus]
For a guilty pleasure
Day of leisure
We’ll go and watch the Sox play a ball game
Take a lake-side breezy bike ride
Along the 3rd Coast
Hit a Museum
We never see ‘em
Catch a late-night show
There’s a million brilliant places we could go
But there’s no better city that I know
For playing hooky than Chicago

[Hook]
Ooh bop bop
Playing hooky in Chicago
Ooh bop bop
We’ll play hooky in Chicago
Ooh bop bop
Playing hooky in Chicago
Ooh bop bop

[Outro]
There’s a million brilliant places we could go
But there’s no better city that I know
For playing hooky than Chicago

[Hook]
Ooh bop bop
Playing hooky in Chicago
Ooh bop bop
We’ll play hooky in Chicago
Ooh bop bop
Playin hooky in Chicago
Ooh bop bop
Ooooooh…bop! bop!
