Sookie Sookie Lyrics
Let it hang out baby
Let it hang out now
Now na-na now
Let it hang out baby, everybody work out
Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sue!
Let it hang out baby
Do the Baltimore jig
Let it hang out baby
Boomerang with me
Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sue!
Really got it bad child
Drink a bottle of turpentine
When you wake up in the morning
Feelin' kinda fine
Let it hang out baby
Let it hang out now, now na-na now
You better watch your step girl
Don't step on that bannana peel
If your foot should ever hit it
You'll go up to the ceiling
Hang it in baby, Hang it in baby
Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sue!
Let it hang out baby
Let it hang out now, now na-na now
Let it hang out baby
Everybody work out
Hang it in baby, Hang it in baby, Hang it in baby
Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sue!
Let it hang out now
Now na-na now
Let it hang out baby, everybody work out
Do the Baltimore jig
Let it hang out baby
Boomerang with me
Drink a bottle of turpentine
When you wake up in the morning
Feelin' kinda fine
Let it hang out now, now na-na now
Don't step on that bannana peel
If your foot should ever hit it
You'll go up to the ceiling
Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sue!
Let it hang out now, now na-na now
Let it hang out baby
Everybody work out
Hang it in baby, Hang it in baby, Hang it in baby

The guitar solo is about my only favorite part of "Sookie Sookie".
One of the dumbest songs I've ever heard. Makes absolutely no sense. Sounds like somebody came up with some music and lazily threw some lyrics on top, maybe in a drunken state. Maybe it was just an F.U. to the listeners. Who knows!
"Sookie" is a somewhat rare nickname for "Sue/Susan/Suzy" etc. In this tune, may have used the name to take advantage to sound like "Suckie", etc.
A friend tried to convince me they are saying "suck me" Sue. If you listen closely it almost sounds like it, but they would never do that. They would do anything for love though.
It would take only a nudge to transform "sookie" into "suck it." If you listen close with headphones, I defy you to tell me which one John Kay is actually singing. This was from an era where bands had great fun getting things past the censors, so there\'s that too. \n\nI guess in the long run, I have to give a vote to the user that said these lyrics were possibly a drunken afterthought to a decent flipside for Magic Carpet Ride, circa 1969, lol.
@spearsg yep, we sang the suck me lyrics, around 1972.....especially in the biker bars here in ct.....there were no censors in those dirt,greasy dives.

You kids are all off your arses.....listen to the old blues/race records!!! learn some of the older "jive".......not rap!! then you will understand the lyrics....bottle of turpentine, banana peel, baltimore jig- all black expressions from the 1940's
@oreokookie I was thinking the same thing about the blues legends and groups like the Stones and Zeppelin were doing old covers of blues legends. At the same time all of the 60s bands pushed the censor-ship boundaries. I think John Kay was doing the older jive. When he got to the chorus that’s when he sang suck me suck me soon. Really fast, but you can still hear it. Loved Steppenwolf!!!!

A lot of the 60s bands were covering older black blues classics. They were awesome. Sounds like John Kay was talking about dancing to some blues rock. At the same time there was a lot of censorship back then. I had the album as a young kid. Loved it with Born to be wild as the main song. I think Mr Kay went from talkin blues into very fast lyrics. Definitely sounds like he’s sayin Suck it Suck it soon!
I don't think he's saying sookie. He wants Sue to do something else entirely. "Let it hand out baby" "Don't step on that banana peel". "Drink a bottle of turpentine, When you wake up in the morning, Feelin' kinda fine" - He just roofied her here because she wouldn't suckhim, suckhim, suckhim, suckhim, suckhim, SUE!
I first heard this song when I was 17 back in 1983. My first instinct was to think it stupid because "sookie" wasn't a word I had ever heard before. I'm 43 now and I still haven't heard that word used anywhere but in this song. I have always thought the lyrics must actually be "suck me, suck me, suck me, suck me, suck me, suck me, Sue" and the spelling of the title was changed to the nonsensical "sookie" in order for the band to conveniently avoid any potential censorship-related entanglements.

Then again, the word "sookie"...
Then again, the word "sookie" does appear to be a legitimate slang term for somebody in the world.
