Joey comes from a sacred part of town Where sometimes you talk to tough Your feet don't touch the ground And the sidewalk soldiers sing their midnight blues While the old men recite their story lines 'Bout when I was young like you They say, oh yeah We were cruising to the backbeat Oh yeah, making love in the back seat And ooh we were wild, wild in the streets Wild, wild in the streets
A member of the boys' brigade Had a date with the girl next door You know it made her daddy crazy It only made her want him more But they weren't looking for trouble That boy didn't wanna fight, not tonight So she headed out through the bathroom window What her daddy didn't know was gonna be alright She said, oh yeah We're cruising to the backbeat Oh, yeah, making love in the back seat And ooh we were wild, wild in the streets Wild, wild in the streets We were wild, wild in the streets Wild, wild in the streets Rock me
Sometimes this town ain't pretty But you know it ain't so bad Just like a girl who looks so happy When inside she's so so sad In here we got this code of honour No one's going down You don't walk in vain through the kids' parade Cos this is my home town
Wild, wild in the streets Wild, wild in the streets And we were wild, wild in the streets Wild, wild in the streets
Yeah we were wild in the streets Wild in the streets Wild in the streets Wild in the streets Wild in the streets Oh, we were wild in the streets Oh, wild in the streets Oh, wild in the streets Wild
