Gee Whiz - 1958 Rehearsal

[Unknown Speaker, Lou Reed, spoken]
Potentially we could modify the song, huh?
No doubt. I think another key might be better
No! No! That is a - first off all - just try. No, please, please - just try. What have you got to lose?

[Verse 1]
Gee whiz, guess -
What? I followed along
Gee whiz, guess I'm really not that guy I thought I was
Couldn't keep the one girl I really loved
That's the truth -

[Candid]
How'd that sound?
I don't know

[Singing]
Gee whiz

[Laughing]
Ah, you didn't - you screwed it up, there

[Singing]
Gee -

[Candid]
Let me hear just - just that. Just, again
That was terrible. Shut up

[Verse 2, beginning]
Gee whiz, guess I'm really not that guy I thought I was
Couldn't hold the one girl I really loved
How can I protect her if she don't -

[Verse 2, stumbling]
No, you - geez!
Girl I really lovе -
Girl I really love -

[Verse 2, ending]
That I really lovе
Guess it's funny, gee whiz

[Verse 3]
Gee whiz, guess I'm really not that guy I thought I was
Couldn't keep the one girl I really loved
Guess it's funny, gee whiz, gee whiz
What? No
