Wooly Bully Lyrics
Matty told Hatty about a thing she saw.
Had two big horns and a wooly jaw.
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.
Let's not be L-seven, come and learn to dance."
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.
Get you someone really to pull the wool with you."
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.
Censors were more vigilant in those days and it wouldn't surprise me if the band made up a story about a cat to cover so the song could get released. All you have to do is change 'two big horns" for "two big balls" and the rest falls into place. Why would they have lyrics about going out and not being square in reference to a cat?
And what does, "come and learn to dance" have to do with "about the thing she saw" or about a cat?
Remember all the speculation about what the lyrics of "Louie, Louie" were referencing? Didn't it even get banned in some places because of this, so called, misinterpretation?
Hiding sexual references in songs was a cat and mouse game (no pun intended) that musicians and labels played all the time with the censors.
The term 'rock and roll' originated from jazz slang referring to intercourse - plain and simple.

I think this song is a veiled attempt at singing about sex..
We need more posts! This is a pop classic of the 20th century!
I love the way Kubrick used it in 'Full Metal Jacket'

"Let's not be L-seven" means something like let's not be square (i.e. lame) - as L7 together almost looks like a square.
Apparently it's a slang phrase from the 50s, which is often mistaken for being a reference to the sexual position which is called 69.
Yeah exactly. L-seven as in loser, square. When you put your hands up to make the square sign, your thumb and forefinger of the left hand make an L while those of the right hand make a seven, thus L7. Also I love hearing the word "apparently" in front of that statement. I can't wait until I see someone say something like, "Yes, apparently 'the bomb' was a phrase from the seventies used to mean cool, but is often misunderstood in today's slang world." Haha, seriously guys.
Oh you!
Haw-haw!
i heard it was about a cat ,the horns being its ears
I'm glad that you were able to take my comment lightly. Believe me, many things about the world around me constantly makes me feel old - seriously.
Hatty likes to have a good time and has seen some wild things. He Tells Matty about it and offers to take her out for a good time. Hatty doesn't want to be a square and not have fun. He's not really asking her out, but to have fun with someone. This song is about sex. The line "Get you someone really to pull the wool with you" is obvious if you think about it.
For "Get you someone really to pull the wool with you," I thought it referred to dancing. Like, "Cutting a rug."
