You wrestle with your partner
Sitting on a windowsill
But he spends his time behind closed doors

Chorus:
So check out mister businessman, oh-oh-oh
He bought some wild, wild life
On the way to the stock exchange, oh-oh-oh

He doing wild, wild life
I know it's the way you like it, oh-oh
Living wild, wild

You get on board anytime you like

C               F          G
Like sitting on, pins and needles
C                F         G
Things fall apart, it's scientific

ChorusL
Sleeping on the Interstate, oh-oh-oh
Getting wild, wild life
Checking in and checking out, oh-oh-oh
I got 'em, wild, wild life
Spending all of my money and time, oh-oh-oh
On too much wild, wild life
We wanna go, and we go where we go, oh-oh-oh
Ah, doing wild, wild life
I know it, that's how we start, oh-oh-oh
Got some wild, wild life
Take a picture here in the daylight, oh-oh
And it's a wild, wild life
You've grown so tall, you've grown so fast, oh-oh-oh
Wild, wild
And I know that's the way you like it, oh-oh
Living wild, wild, wild, wild life
