Wild Wild Wild

Back when this land was a jungle

That’s when it was my home

I had a lion’s blood, all I wanted was

To ravage and to roam

Once you crossed paths with this stray cat

We was rippin’ it up in style

We were fast and free, weren’t we

Wild, wild, wild

Well the backwoods clung to our sneakers

And our knees showed through our jeans

Fast as our hearts beat, how come we weren’t

Blown to smithereens?

The upper crust all looked at us like the

Devil’s own stepchild

And they figured us well because truth to tell we was

Wild, wild, wild

When I think of those stiff old-timers

I’m happy their day is done

Cause their clothes looked silly and their music stank

And they never ‘lowed no fun

Goodbye to the bad old Dixie

Of the bigots and the monkey trial

You wanna shake the tree, sometimes you got to be

Wild, wild, wild

Well the dirt still clings to our sneakers

And we’re wearin’ them blue jeans too

And there ain’t nobody to stop us now

‘Cause the animals are runnin’ the zoo

Just look around at these crazy cats

That the whole world once reviled

Baby rock-and-roll’s done sprung the cage and it’s

Wild, wild, wild

Yeah, back in the day, I’m proud to say, we was

Wild...wild... wild
