Where Did All the Wild Things Go?

Do you like to get down low at the dog house 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?

Now the streets full of suits
With hundred-dollar haircuts
I used to cut loose
Now its uptight, airbrush
Scratching my head 'cause I really, really wanna know

Where did all the wild things go?

Do you like to get hazy, blazy, crazy
A little bit mad 'cause you just caught rabies, man?
Now you going off the deep end
Do you like jammin', ramblin', gamblin'
Slammin' it back 'til you don't know what you're standing on
Passed out in a porta-john?

Now this town's been tamed like a bear in a cage
Like 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?

(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do)

Sometimes you gotta growl (do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
Sometimes you gotta let loose, get juiced and howl, ooh (do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
Sometimes you gotta raise the roof, shake the blues, breakthrough, make the news
Before it all goes south (do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do) sometimes you gotta get loud!
(Oh ooh)
Sometimes you gotta rise up to get down (get down)
Sometimes you gotta stand out in a crowd, get loud, fly your freak flag proud
'Cause there's never been a better time to let it shine than right now
Huh!

So meet me after midnight moonlight
It's gonna be a good time, alright
Everybody's coming 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

'Cause you can cut out the fangs of a pair of pit vipers
But this here tiger's just gettin' 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?
