Lyrics[]
When we start to move, hey honey
It ain't no joke
We got a savage groove, we didn't learn
from no human folk
(No human folk) Ha ha ha!
'scuse our incivility
We're w-i-i-i-l-d!!
When the music plays
All the people stomp their feet (you'd better go, Baloo!)
But a stomping paw can lay down a better beat! HA HA!
Tell me we ain't naturally w-i-i-i-l-d!!
It's a snap to bring out the beast in you
You're free like ze bird it;s true or a frog or a hog or
Oh man whatever (baby we were born free)
From the maddest cat to the sweetest little dear
Tonight's the night we're gonna get our tails in gear
Show me your ferocity go
W-i-i-i-l-d!!
We snort, we squeak
Up high or deep underground,
We snarl, we shriek (Vout o roonie!)
We fly round and round and round!
Oh go you sweet thing that's inhuman baby!
The old mongoose gets good and loose
The ocelot gives it all he's got
The parakeet goes tweedle deet
The red macaque shouts hang on, jack!
The tiny worm, the pachyderm (mammoth)
The spotted cat, the water rat
The great cuckoo, the bear baloo are w i l d!!!
Here's the thing if we're broke we never squawk
We don't need to check no clock to know what time it is, it's time to rock!
When you dance like that hey honey
It sure is hip (can't stand it!)
I wanna tip my hat but i got no hat to tip
But i don't need no hat! ask me why and i won't lie
W I-I-I-L-D!!!
We grunt we growl up high or deep underground
We hoort we howl, we fly round and round and round
My oh me it's plain to see w-i-i-i-l-d!
He she me you nique ally w-i-i-i-l-d!
Every beastie running freeeee...
W-i-i-i-l-d!!!!!
Trivia:
Bambi's Mother appears in this song when Baloo tickles her and she also appears in The Jungle Book (1967) film when Shere Khan (Disney's animated films) prowls through the grass.
