[Intro: Morris Day]
What time is it?!?
[Verse 1: Morris Day]
Hangin' by the backstage door, decked out like a queen
Your body's sayin' 21, but your face says 17
My intuition tells me, that you're waitin' for the band
Before you get your hopes up, one thing, understand
[Chorus: The Time]
Wild and loose, that's how it's got to be
'Cause that's the only kind of dame that appeals to me
Wild and loose, the only life I know
Just havin' one big party, from show to show
[Verse 2: Morris Day & The Time]
Talkin' trash to Jimmy Jam, "Tell us where the party's at!"
We don't care who you came with, we'll take care of that
Just meet us at the motel, room 602 (Ooh!)
Tell your mama you won't be home 'cause we got plans for you (Ohh yeah!)
[Chorus: The Time]
Wild and loose, that's how it's got to be
'Cause that's the only kind of dame that appeals to me
Wild and loose, the only life I know
Just havin' one big party, from show to show
[Verse 3: Morris Day]
Universal freak delight, where'd you get those thighs?
Where did you get the nerve to wear that mini-skirt so high?
Don't worry, baby, I can keep a secret for as long as snow is white
"Hey Jesse?" "Yeah?" "Come here, man, guess what I did last night?!"
[Chorus: The Time]
Wild and loose, that's how it's got to be
'Cause that's the only kind of dame that appeals to me
Wild and loose, the only life I know
Just havin' one big party, from show to show
[Bridge: Morris Day & The Time]
Baby, you ain't no saint 'cause there ain't no in-between
Either you come or you can't, now, get loose, let me hear you scream
Baby, you ain't no saint 'cause there ain't no in-between
Either you come or you can't, now, get loose, let me hear you scream!
[Chorus: The Time]
Wild and loose, that's how it's got to be
'Cause that's the only kind of dame that appeals to me
Wild and loose, the only life I know
Just havin' one big party, from show to show
[Post-Chorus: Morris Day & The Time]
(Wild and loose) Ah, pardon me, say it one more time, uh!
(Wild and loose) Uh, can you ease up, baby, maybe I'm blind?!
(Wild and loose) Everybody know you got to be, yeah
(Wild and loose) 'Cause ain't nobody cool but me, slap me!
(Wild and loose) Somebody! Somebody, sing it!
(Wild and loose) Tell your mama you won't be home, ugh
(Wild and loose) Everybody know you got to be, yeah
(Wild and loose) Ain't nobody cool, but me, now break it down
[Interlude: Susan Moonsie, Kim Upsher and The Time]
Kim, wasn't the concert great?
Minneapolis is mine
Oh yeah, it sure was
She was right in the front row, I know, man, she was sittin' there
Did you see Jesse up there? Wasn't he fine?
She was lookin' at me so nasty, you know what I'm sayin'?
Oh yeah
But the groove was so strong
Morris looked so good
I know what I'm gonna be doin' in the back of the bus to night!
Yeah, but I think Jesse is cuter
Oh yeah!
Am I right?
I wonder what they are doin' after the concert
Ah, I got it to night Jimmy
Oh yeah, I got a strange feelin' they're nasty
You had it last night?
Yeah, I bet I'll remember this concert for the rest of my life
The lady called me up last night
She said "Morris, you can be so cute, pretty, fine, handsome, whatever"
So, will I?
Did you see Jesse's eyes, aren't they pretty?
What can I say? You know
Yeah, I know what you sayin' man
Oh, they're so pretty
No one at school will ever believe I talked to Morris on the phone last night
Hey look, are they sorry, that group that played before us?
Oh, I believe you
Jimmy Jam, you know we're good
Hi's voice was so soft, he sounded so sweet
You know when we stepped in that club
Oh yeah, he's so cool
We saw Monte sittin' back there with his little girlfriends
Yeah, but now I want to meet 'em in person
I said "What is it like bein' cool?"
Some people have it too cool
Oh, beat it jerk
Alright, look
God, get away, eh yuck
Man, look at these two chicks over man, look at this, look at this
Man, they look, they look wild and loose
Kim, you ain't gonna believe it, the guys from The Time are right behind you
Man, the girls are lookin' right
Go on, won't y'all try and rap at 'em and see what time
Are you serious?
They should take them jeans off, that's what I like
No, I'm not ... look, I ... I mean yes I am! Over there!
I mean, you know, you know I got somethin' for 'em to put on
Oh my God!
Can you believe it? Look
You saw what I was with the other night?
Should I look?
Should I go over and see if he remembers me?
Oh yeah
It's kinda right, do whatever you want
But what should I say?
Say somethin'
I got the back of the bus tonight, that's all I got to say
Hi-hi Morris
Hmph! I know man. Hmm, excuse me. Hello, do I know you?
Yeah, you talked to me on the phone last night
Is that right? Well, you sure don't look like you sound
Well excuse me!
It's okay, baby, I got things to do I'll talk to you later
Jerk! That was the worst concert I've ever been to
[Pre-Chorus: The Time]
Wild and loose
Wild and loose
Wild and loose
Wild and loose
[Chorus: The Time]
Wild and loose, that's how it's got to be
'Cause that's the only kind of dame that appeals to me
Wild and loose, the only life I know
Just havin' one big party, from show to show
[Post-Chorus: Morris Day & The Time]
(Wild and loose) I can't hear you singin'!
(Wild and loose) Help me out, help me out, hey!
(Wild and loose) Baby, I got plans for you! Heh
(Wild and loose) Everybody, get loose!
[Outro: Morris Day and The Time]

Fellas? Yeah? Where the party at? Time to get wild and loose! Showtime!

Somebody bring me a mirror!
