[Intro]
Thank you!
Next one's called 'Wild Life'

[Verse 1]
While taking a walk through an African park one day
I saw a sign say, "The animals have the right of way"

[Chorus]
Wild life, whatever happened to
Wild life, the animals in the zoo?

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Wild life (wild life)
What's going to happen to
Wild life (wild life)
The animals in the zoo?

[Verse 3]
You'd better stop
There's animals everywhere
And man is the top, an animal too
And, man, you just gotta care

[Chorus]
Wild life (wild life)
What's going to happen to
Wild life (wild life)
The animals in the zoo?

[Verse 2]
You're breathing a lot
Of political nonsense in the air
You're making it hard
For the people who live in there

[Outro]
Wild life (wild life)
What's going to 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)

Ah, la-la-ah (wild life)
Whatever happened to (Whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
Ah, ah, ah (wild life)
The animals in the zoo? (Whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
Woo, woo

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)
Woo, woo

(Wild life
Whatever happened to, whatever happened to
Wild life
Whatever happened to, whatever happened to
Wild life
Whatever happened to, whatever happened to
Wild life
Whatever happened to, whatever happened to
Wild life
Whatever happened to, whatever happened to)

Paul McCartney and Wings, also known simply as Wings, were an Anglo-American rock band formed in 1971 by former Beatle Paul McCartney with his wife Linda McCartney on keyboards, session drummer Denny Seiwell, and former Moody Blues guitarist Denny Laine. Wings were noted for frequent personnel changes as well as commercial success, going through three lead guitarists and four drummers. However, the core trio of the McCartneys and Laine remained intact throughout the group’s existence until 1981.
