Intro] “Bad boy! Bad boy!”
That’s what they used to say. But he never understood it —
He was just a kid,
Just alive,
Just finding his own way. [Verse 1] As a child, he was a daredevil,
Always running wild.
“Why are you such a bad boy?”
He would wonder, like a child. “What did I do?
What did I break?
I’m just a kid,
For heaven’s sake!” They tried to make him grow up good,
To wear a badge and serve the law.
But Coastridge kept breaking windows —
And drummed in a band called You won't fall asleep with me." [Pre-Chorus] Then his father brought him three old badges,
Looked him straight between the eyes:
“Son, collect as many as you can.”
And Coastridge took the prize. He even bought an antique one
On a journey through Poland town.
Someone laughed:
“Ha-ha! What a collection!
Where’s your police badge now?” [Chorus] Wild, wild, wild West!
Where the trouble never sleeps!
Two cops for all the town,
And a hundred gangs in the streets! Wild, wild, wild West!
Someone’s gotta take the test!
Coastridge put that badge on —
And went where the danger was the best! [Verse 2] Coastridge just shook his head
And walked into the station door.
There were outlaws everywhere,
More than anybody could ignore. The chief looked deep into his eyes:
“Go and serve. We’ve got a job.
One of my officers disappeared —
The local gangsters made him drop. Any day now those wild girls
Could come and burn this place down.
Those cowgirls are a little too fierce —
They’re the toughest girls in town!” [Pre-Chorus 2] Coastridge froze for just a second,
For he’d dreamed of this before:
To finally meet Jennifer,
And dance with her till he could dance no more. To play with Lady of Spades Crimsyn
And her electric-pop delight,
To tear across the dance floor
With the goddesses all night! [Chorus] Wild, wild, wild West!
Where the trouble never sleeps!
Two cops for all the town,
And a hundred gangs in the streets! Wild, wild, wild West!
Well, this sounds like fun at best!
“Yeah!” said Coastridge.
“I’m in. Give me the badge!” [Bridge] He took the badge.
He turned around.
No questions asked.
He left the town. Girls were waiting.
Music loud.
Coastridge disappeared
Into the crowd. “Come on, ladies!
Let’s ride!” [Final Chorus] Wild, wild, wild West!
Where the crazy stories start!
One badge, two cops,
And a whole town full of wild hearts! Wild, wild, wild West!
Coastridge finally passed the test!
With the girls, the gangs,
The music and the madness — Oh, wild, wild, wild West!
