Wild In The Streets Lyrics

[Intro]
Wild in the street
Wild in the streets
Wild in the streets
Wild in the street

[Verse 1]
In the heat of the summer, better call up the plumber
And turn on the street pump to cool me off
With your newspaper writers and your big crime fighters
You still need a drugstore to cure my cough

[Chorus 1]
Running wild in the streets
Wild in the streets
Wild in the streets
Wild in the streets

[Post-Chorus]
Wild in the street
Wild in the street
Wild in the street
Wild in the street

[Verse 2]
We got a gang called Shady and a midnight lady
And two transvestites to beat the band
No, you better not touch us
You best believe us
Your teenage Johnny's gonna be a man
[Chorus 2]
Running wild in the streets
Running wild in the streets
Running wild in the streets
Running wild in the streets

[Bridge]
Mrs. America
Tell me, how is your favorite son?
And do you really care what he has done?

[Outro]
Running wild in the streets
Running wild in the streets
Running wild in the streets, wild in the streets
Wild in the streets
Wild in the streets
Wild in the streets
Wild in the streets
Wild in the streets
Wild in the streets
Wild in the streets
Wild in the streets
Wild in the streets
Wild in the streets
Wild in the streets
Wild in the streets

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
