WILDEST GIRL IN TOWN
(Sam Cooke / J.W. Alexander)


Kylo Turner - 1960
Johnnie Morsette - 1962



The way you shake it walkin' down the street
The way you wink at all the boys you meet
That's why they call you the wildest girl in town

Yeah, the way you dress up in your shirts and slacks
A leather jacket thrown across your back
That's why they call you the wildest girl in town

Yeah, your hip clothes and your jazzy walk
You're always talkin' that cookie talk
That's why they call you the wildest girl in town

Yeah, the way you ride around in souped-up cars
Rock and rollin' at the soda bars
That's why they call you the wildest girl in town

Woah, but, baby, they don't seem to understand that
Inside you there's a heart of pure gold
You can't help it if you grew up
In the age of hot rods and rock and roll, oh yeah

Though I know what they say is true
There's nothing that I can do
For I'm in love with the wildest girl in town

(They don't seem to understand that)
Inside you there's a heart of pure gold
You can't help it if you grew up
In the age of hot rods and rock and roll, oh yeah

Though I know what they say is true
There's nothing that I can do
For I'm in love, I'm in love
I can't help it, baby, I'm in love
Woah, I'm in love with the wildest girl in town
(The wildest girl in town)
