"Cover my hookoree" in Government Hooker ?

[Massive Monster 4,426]

So let's get real for a second

How long did it REALLY take you to understand Gaga's operatic singing at the start of Government Hooker ? 

Me -

Probably more than a year  I'm still her biggest fan don't fight me 

It truly was a revelation when I finally got it (I didn't read it anywhere or checked the lyrics)

I kept thinking she was singing something like "Cover my hookoree" which doesn't make any sense. And then forgot about it thinking it was maybe some latin or whatever

Isn't she just singing government hookerreeee? That's what I've been hearing

I meant that I've heard it that way from the beginning

When I heard it for the first time at the Mugler Show.

It seemed pretty clear to me 

Now the "Io ritone(rò)" took a bit longer to figure out.
