"Wild Life" Lyrics

by Paul McCartney

As Released by Wings (1971)

The word "wild" applies to the words "you" and "me"

While taking a walk through an African park one day
I saw a sign say, "The animals have the right of way"

Wild life, whatever happened to
Wild life, the animals in the zoo?

You're breathing so hot
A lot of political nonsense in the air

You're making it hard for the people who live in there
You're moving so fast, but baby, you know not where
Wild life (wild life), what's gonna happen to
Wild life (wild life), the animals in the zoo?
Oh, oh

You'd better stop, there's animals everywhere
And man is the top, an animal too
And man, you just got to care

Wild life (wild life), what's gonna happen to
Wild life (wild life), the animals in the zoo?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

You're breathing a lot of political nonsense in the air
You're making it hard for the people who live in there

Wild life (wild life), what's gonna happen to
(whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
Wild life (wild life), the animals in the zoo?
(whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
(wild life, whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
(wild life, whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
Wild life (wild life), what's gonna happen to
(whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
The animals in the zoo
(whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
Wild life (wild life), whatever happened to
(whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
Wild life (wild life), whatever happened to
(whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
Ooh (wild life)
(whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
(wild life)
(whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
(wild life)
(whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
Ow ow (wild life)
(whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
(wild life)
(whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
