Hi,

As it's not spelt "rooky", I'd pronounce this "rookey" with vowels close to "rock-day". But then, mine is not a native pronunciation. (Whether that's a helpor a hinder in this case, I don't know.)

On the general topic, I'm of the counter-opinion that almost all lyrics make sense, in their context. The difficult lies in determining the right context from the lyrics.

Bye,
