Where Did All the Wild Things Go?

[Verse 1]

Do you like to get down low with the doghouse

Or high on the hog when the Friday night lights go down?

Can you howl like a greyhound?

Do you like greens, and I don't mean collards?

Hollered, swallered, blown your last dollar at dawn

And do you like to tie one on?

[Chorus]

Now the street's full of suits with hundred-dollar haircuts

I used to cut loose, now it's uptight, airbrushed

Scratchin' my head 'cause I really, really wanna know

Where did all the wild things go?

[Verse 2]

Do you like to get hazy, blazy, crazy

A little bit mad 'cause you just caught rabies, man?

Now you're goin' off the deep end

Do you like jammin', ramblin', gamblin'

Slammin' 'em back 'til you don't know what you're standin' on

Passed out in a port-a-john?

[Chorus]

Now this town's been tamеd like a bear in a cage

Likе a broke-down train, like the fire hits rain

Rackin' my brain 'cause I really, really wanna know

Where did all the wild things go?

Where did all the wild things go?

[Bridge]

Sometimes you gotta growl

Sometimes you gotta let loose, get juiced and howl

Sometimes you gotta raise the roof, shake the blues

Break through, make the news

Before it all goes south

Sometimes you gotta get loud

Sometimes you gotta rise up to get down

Sometimes you gotta stand out in a crowd, get plowed

Fly your freak flag proud

'Cause there's never been a better time to let it shine

Than right now

Huh!

[Verse 3]

So meet me after midnight, moonlight

It's gonna be a good time, alright

Everybody's comin' in hot

We're gonna divvy up the jackpot

'Til the party light's out and the police are comin'

Everybody's runnin' to thumb another diesel down

Come on and let's blow this town

[Chorus]

'Cause you can cut out the fangs of a pair of pit vipers

But this here tiger's just getting wilder

So all you wild things stand up and let 'em know

Where did all the wild things go?

Where did all the wild things go?

Where did all the wild things go?
