Wild Night

Lyrics As you brush your shoes And stand before the mirror And you comb your hair And grab your coat and hat And you walk, wet streets Tryin to remember All the wild breezes In your memry ever. And evrything looks so complete When youre walkin out on the street And the wind catches your feet And sends you flyin, cryin Ooh-wee! The wild night is calling. And all the girls walk by Dressed up for each other And the boys do the boogie-woogie On the corner of the street And the people passin by Just stare in wild wonder And the inside juke-box Roars out just like thunder. And everything looks so complete The wild night is calling The wild night is calling Come on out and dance Come on out and make romance
