Drivin' down Highway 13
Rain on the road was pretty obscene
Gin in my hand was all I could do
Spendin' my nights thinkin' of you
Round the corner and beyond the bend
The bus broke down, did it again
Fuel line pump, catalytic hose
Tastin' those fumes up in my nose
"Buddy," our driver said, "It'd be a while
So go over there and eat in style"
I gazed to where his finger did point
It's a crazy thing of a chow mein joint
House of Wu, house of Wu
You can't tell me what I'm supposed to do
You just help me to push on through
You got a pocket in your locker with the things you wish I knew
Holy prophets ain't got a thing on you
In that house of Wu
I cross that road and I walk to the door
My feet didn't know what I had in store
Stared up at that neon sign
I took another step and crossed that line
Little old cat in the seat next to mine
His elbow in his coffee and smilin' divine
Toothless wonder took quick to me
A tale he's gonna tell is gonna set me free
Stranger knew about a busted line
He said, "It be alright, it's gonna be all fine
Whatcha gotta worry about is down the line
You're gonna loose that bus, you're gonna loose your mind"
House of Wu, house of Wu
You can't tell me what I'm supposed to do
You just help me to push on through
You got a pocket in your locker with the things you wish I knew
Holy prophets ain't got a thing on you
In that house of Wu
ย
Raised my brow lookin' straight at his head
"If I loose my mind that make the music dead"
I begged of him, "What should I do then?"
"Keep it movin' and a-groovin'," was what he said
Buddy was a-hungry so I slipped out the door
The cook asked the stranger, "What was that all for?"
He said, "It's the greatest secret, man
They're the greatest band in all the land!"
House of Wu, house of Wu
You can't tell me what I'm supposed to do
You just help me to push on through
You got a pocket in your locker with the things you wish I knew
Holy prophets ain't got a thing on you
In that house of Wu
Yeah
House of Wu, house of Wu
You can't tell me what I'm supposed to do
You just help me to push on through
You got a pocket in your locker with the things you wish I knew
Holy prophets ain't got a thing on
No, they ain't got a thing on
Hardly got a thing on you
You, you, you, you
You-hoo
In that house of Wu
