I was good, I could talk a mile a minute

On this caffeine buzz I was on, we were really hummin'

Anyway we can, we're gonna find something
     G                       C                  F
We'll dance in the garden in torn sheets in the rain

Going down to Allen's for a twenty-five cent beer
C               F                  Bb          G
And the jukebox playing real loud, "Ninety-Six Tears."
      C    F           Bb         G
We're wild girls walkin' down the street

Wild girls ?n? boys going out for a big time

Let's go crash that party down in Normaltown tonight
C                    F       Bb         G
Then we'll go skinny-dippin' in the moonlight
     C     F            Bb        G
We're wild girls walkin' down the street
     C         F    Bb              G   F     G

In the rain
