The Hoople
The Hoople is a 1974 album by British band Mott the Hoople. The album peaked in the UK Albums Chart at No. 11, whilst its highest chart rating in the US was No. 28. A remastered and expanded version was released by Sony BMG on the Columbia Legacy label in Europe in 2006. It was the only album to feature guitarist Ariel Bender (who replaced Mick Ralphs following his departure to form Bad Company), and the last album to feature vocalist Ian Hunter before his departure for a solo career.
The album's cover features a stylised portrait of Kari-Ann Muller (with the band members in her hair), who also graces the cover of Roxy Music's 1972 debut album.

The Hoople
by: Mott the HoopleWooohooo.....
She doesn't have to say - she only has to look
I think she sees through me - reads me like a book
And I'm in love with her, and she's in love with me
And the love goes sailin' on - across the stormy seas.
Mmmmm, I got my babe, Mmmmm, I got my babe,
She's a right-on child, she goes smilin'
Woohooo....Woohooo
Sometimes I go over the line, she has to bring me down,
And the pride pulls heavy, makes some evil sounds.
But I'm in love with her, and she's in love with me
And the sea runs calmer now, I kiss the love that sleeps.
Mmmm, I got my babe, Mmmm I got my babe,
She's a right-on child, she goes smilin'
O-O-Oh....O-O-Oh
Mmmm, I got my babe, Mmmm I got my babe,
Mmmm, I got my babe, Mmmm I got my babe,
Mmmm, I got my babe, Mmmm I got my babe,
Mmmm, I got my babe, Mmmm I got my babe
O-O-Oh....O-O-Oh
