^EmAs you brush your shoes G (G6) And stand before the mirror And you comb your ^Emhair G (G6) And grab your coat and hat And you ^Emwalk, wet streets G (G6) Tryin' to remember All the ^Cwild night breezes ^DIn your mem'ry ^Gever

And ev'ry^Emthing looks so comp^Clete When you're ^Emwalkin' out on the ^Cstreet And the ^Emwind catches your ^Cfeet And sends you ^Dflyin', cryin'

^EmOooooooooooooo - wee The wild ^Dnight is ^Gcalling, alright ^EmOooooooooooooo - wee The wild ^Dnight is ^Gcalling.

And all the girls walk by Dressed up for each other And the boys do the boobie-woogie On the corner of the street And the people passin' by Just stare in wild wonder And inside the juke-box Roars out just like thunder. Ooooh - wee The wild night is calling The wild night is calling Come on out and dance Come on out and make romance...
