As you brush your shoes and stand before the mirror,
And you comb your hair and grab your coat and hat,
And you walk the streets tryin' to remember,
All the wild night breezes in your very head.

And everything looks so complete,
When you're walkin' out on the street,
And the wind catches your feet and sends you flyin', cryin'
Oooh, oooh oooh whee, wild night is calling.

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 passing by just stare in wide wonder,
And the inside jukebox roars out like thunder.

And everything looks so complete,
When you're walkin' out on the street,
And the wind catches your feet and sends you flyin', cryin'
Oooh, oooh oooh whee, wild night is calling.

The wild night is calling, the wild night is calling
Come on out and dance (Come on out and dance)
Come on out and make romance
Come on out and dance (come on out and dance)
Come on out and make romance

And everything looks so complete,
When you're walkin' out on the street,
And the wind catches your feet and sends you flyin', cryin'
Oooh, oooh oooh whee, wild night is calling.
