When the sun has gone down and the night grows cold
The Wild Thing comes up from the bush
There he sits by the old wood shed
Waitin', waitin' for the food that never comes
The owners have gone, gone away
There he sits waitin', waitin' every day
One night a car drove down
The lights shone bright on the wild, wild thing
He got a fright, on the night the car drove down
They gave him food, he purred, purred
Now the people have gone, gone away
He sits and waits, waits for the car to come down, down
One night a car drove down
The lights shone bright on the wild, wild thing
He got a fright, on the night the car drove down
They gave him food, he purred, purred
Now the people have gone, gone away
He sits and waits, waits for the car to come down, down
