[Verse 1] You sold me a map with the corners cut away Called it a shortcut, charged me twice to stay I found your fine print underneath my shoe A little black-and-white parade of hooey from you [Pre-Chorus] You talk in circles, polished and proud But the loose change rattles when you say it loud [Chorus] Hooey, hooey, there it goes Dressed up fancy in a borrowed coat Hooey, hooey, nice try, dear The truth is waiting in the room right here [Verse 2] You promised a ladder, delivered a chair Said the missing rungs were fresh mountain air I climbed one step and the whole thing swayed Now I’m laughing at the bargain you made [Bridge] Keep your ribbon, keep your seal Keep the story that refuses to feel I’ll take the plain words, crooked but true And leave the bright little racket to you [Final Chorus] Hooey, hooey, there it goes Dressed up fancy in a borrowed coat Hooey, hooey, nice try, dear The truth is waiting in the room right here [Outro] Hooey on the left, hooey on the right Sweep it off the table, turn out the light
