Wild Wild Wild Lyrics

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 'cause 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 had 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
Take a 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
