Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As you brush your shoes and stand before your mirror
And you comb your hair, grab your coat and hat
And you walk the streets trying to remember, yeah
All those wild nights breeze through your mind
[Verse 2]
And everything looks so complete
When you're walking out on the streets
And the wind catches your feet and sends you flying
Crying
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ee
The wild night is calling
[Verse 3]
All the girls walk by, dressed up for each other
And the boys do the boogie-woogie on the corner of the street
And the people passing by just stare with wild wonder, yeah
And the inside, jukebox roars just like thunder
[Verse 4]
And everything is so complete
When you're walking out on the street
And the wind, it catches your feet and sends you flying
Crying
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ee
The wild night is calling
[Verse 5]
The wild night is calling
The wild night, it is calling
Come on out and dance
Come on out and dance
Come on out and make romance
Come on out and dance
Come on out and dance
Come on out and make romance, yeah
[Verse 6]
And everything looks so complete
When you're walking out on the street
And the wind, it catches your feet and sends you flying
Crying
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ee
The wild night is calling
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ee
The wild night is calling
