Chariot Choogle
T. Rex Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl you are groove
You're like the planets when you move
See the winter 'coming In a two finned caddy
Gonna walk upon the waters
Go ooo yea

Girl you gotta cook
You got the chariot by the hook
I'm riding in the rain
Got my blue suede shoes
Gonna give up all my pain
And go ooo yea

Baby you know who you are
Baby you know who you are
Don't you know who you are

Standing on your porch
You wear your pleasure like a torch
Hiding in the road
Like a Pasolini toad




Gonna give up all my load
And go ooo yea

Overall Meaning

T. Rex's song Chariot Choogle is a feel-good, upbeat song that celebrates a groovy girl who moves like the planets. The song speaks of the coming winter, but the singer is not bothered as he intends to walk upon the waters.

The singer speaks of riding in the rain in his blue suede shoes as he gives up all his pain and goes, "ooo yea."


The song's lyrics are open to interpretation, but one possible meaning is that the singer has found someone who makes him feel free and alive. He describes the girl's movement as planetary, which suggests that she has an otherworldly quality. The idea of walking on water is also significant as it symbolizes the kind of spiritual liberation that comes from being in love. The singer seems to be shedding the burdens of his past as he gives up his pain and load.
