Wild thing
There's hardly a man left around that you haven't sought out
Wild thing
When she was younger she thought her mother had missed her calling
Wild thing
If there's a lesson to be learned then I'm sure I don't know it
Wild thing
Wild thing
You made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it, spend it, wild thing
There's hardly a dress shop in town that you haven't bought out
In case you're wondering why the hair salon wouldn't take you
There's hardly a woman left in any state that doesn't hate you
You made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it, spend it, wild thing
It's truly awesome
And she, in turn, thought that her daughter's conduct was appalling
After each date she had the boys, went home and dreamed of spiders
She never fell for any man who wasn't rich as Midas
You made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it, spend it, wild thing
It's truly awesome
We've all been waiting 20 years to see her finally blow it
But as far as I can tell she's happy, rich, and worry-free
And that's a hell of a lot more than I can say for me
You made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it, spend it wild thing
You made your heart sing
You bought everything you wanted
Spend it, spend it, wild thing
It was truly awesome
That's my girl, go baby!
