Wild Wild Wild

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Robbie & Linda Gail] 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 [Refrain 1: Both] We were fast and free, weren't we Wild, wild, wild [Verse 2: Both & Linda Gail] 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 [Refrain 2: Both] And they figured us well 'cause truth to tell, we was Wild, wild, wild [Verse 3: Linda Gail & Both] 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 had no fun Goodbye to the bad old Dixie Of the bigots and the monkey trial [Refrain 3: Both] You wanna shake the tree, sometimes you got to be Wild, wild, wild [Verse 4: Both & Robbie Fulks] 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 Take a look around at these crazy cats That the whole world once reviled [Refrain 4: Both] Baby rock-and-roll's done sprung the cage and it's Wild, wild, wild [Outro: Both] Yeah, back in the day I'm proud to say, we was Wild wild wild
