Wild Thing
Tone-Lōc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Workin' all week, 9 to 5 for my money
So when the weekend comes I go get live with the honey
Rollin' down the street, I saw this girl and she was pumpin'
I winked my eye, she got into the ride, went to a club, was jumpin'
Introduce myself as Loc, she said, "You're a liar"
I said, "I got it goin' on, baby doll, and I'm on fire"
Took her to the hotel, she said, "You're the king"
I said, "Well, be my queen if you know what I mean, and lets do the wild thing"
Wild thing
Wild thing
Shoppin' at the mall looking for some gear to buy
I saw this girl, she gon' rock my world, and I had to adjust my fly
She looked at me and smiled and said, "You have plans for the night?"
I said, "Hopefully, if things go well, I'll be with you tonight"
So we journeyed to her house, one thing led to an other
I key in the door, I cold hit the floor, looked up and it was her mother
I didn't know what to say, I was hangin' by a string
She said, "Hey, you two, I was once like you, and I liked to do the wild thing"
Wild thing
She loved to do the wild thing
Wild thing
Please, baby, baby, please
Posse in effect, hangin' out is always hype
And when me and the crew leave the shindig, I want a girl who's just my type
Saw this luscious little frame, I ain't lyin', fellas, she was fine
This sweet young miss cold gave me a kiss and I knew that she was mine
Took her to the limousine, it's still parked outside
I tipped the chauffeur when it was over and I gave her my own ride
Couldn't get her off my jock, she was like static cling
But that's what happens when body start slappin' from doin' the wild thing
Wild thing
She wanna do the wild thing
Please, baby, baby, please
Wild thing
Doin' a little show at the local discotheque
This fine young chick was on my jock, so I said what the heck
She wanted to come on stage and do her little dance
So I said, "Chill for now, but maybe later, you'll get your chance"
So when the show was finished I took her around the way
And what do you know, she was good to go without a word to say
We was all alone and she said, "Tone, let me tell you one thing
I need fifty dollars to make you holler, I get paid to do the wild thing"
Say what?
Yo love, you must be kidding
You're walkin', babe
Just break out of here
Hasta la vista, baby
Wild thing
The lyrics to Tone-Loc's "Wild Thing" describe his wild and adventurous weekend with a lady love interest. The opening lines discuss how Loc works hard during the week, but on the weekends, he likes to have fun with women. While driving down the street, he spots a girl, and they head to a club to party. Loc introduces himself and assures her that he is a "king" and "on fire." The couple ends up in a hotel room, where Loc asks her to be his queen and "do the wild thing."
In the second verse, Loc goes shopping to buy new clothing, where he sees another girl who catches his eye. She invites him back to her house, where Loc meets her mother. The woman encourages Loc and her daughter to have fun and "do the wild thing." The last verse describes Loc performing at a disco with another woman who wants to join him on stage. After the show, the woman demands payment to "make [him] holler" and claims she gets paid to "do the wild thing." The song ends with a humorous line where Loc says "Hasta la vista, baby" to end the interaction.

Workin' all week, 9 to 5 for my money
I have a job and work all week to earn my money
So when the weekend comes I go get live with the honey
I go out on weekends and have fun with my girl
Rollin' down the street, I saw this girl and she was pumpin'
While driving, I saw a girl dancing and enjoying herself
I winked my eye, she got into the ride, went to a club, was jumpin'
I flirted with her and she got in the car with me, we went to a club and it was a great time
Introduce myself as Loc, she said, 'You're a liar'
I introduced myself as Loc but she didn't believe me
I said, 'I got it goin' on, baby doll, and I'm on fire'
I told her I'm cool and hot
Took her to the hotel, she said, 'You're the king'
I took her to my hotel room and she complimented me
I said, 'Well, be my queen if you know what I mean, and lets do the wild thing'
I asked her to be with me and do something sexually adventurous
Shoppin' at the mall looking for some gear to buy
I went to the mall to buy clothes
I saw this girl, she gon' rock my world, and I had to adjust my fly
I saw a girl I was attracted to and adjusted myself accordingly
She looked at me and smiled and said, 'You have plans for the night?'
She asked me if I had plans for the evening
I said, 'Hopefully, if things go well, I'll be with you tonight'
I said I hope to be with her tonight
So we journeyed to her house, one thing led to an other
We went to her house and things escalated
I key in the door, I cold hit the floor, looked up and it was her mother
I was shocked to see her mother as I entered the door and fell down
She said, 'Hey, you two, I was once like you, and I liked to do the wild thing'
Her mother said she was once young like us and also enjoyed sex
Posse in effect, hangin' out is always hype
My crew is with me and we're having a great time
And when me and the crew leave the shindig, I want a girl who's just my type
When we leave, I want a girl who is perfect for me
Saw this luscious little frame, I ain't lyin', fellas, she was fine
I saw a girl who was really attractive and didn't lie about it
This sweet young miss cold gave me a kiss and I knew that she was mine
She gave me a kiss and I knew she was interested
Took her to the limousine, it's still parked outside
I took her to my limousine that was still parked outside
I tipped the chauffeur when it was over and I gave her my own ride
I paid the driver and then took her to my place
Couldn't get her off my jock, she was like static cling
She wouldn't leave me alone
But that's what happens when body start slappin' from doin' the wild thing
That's what happens when we have sex
Doin' a little show at the local discotheque
I was performing at a local disco
This fine young chick was on my jock, so I said what the heck
A girl was into me, so I decided to go with it
She wanted to come on stage and do her little dance
She wanted to perform on stage with me
So when the show was finished I took her around the way
After the show, I went with her somewhere else
And what do you know, she was good to go without a word to say
We had sex without much talking
We was all alone and she said, 'Tone, let me tell you one thing
We were alone and she told me something
I need fifty dollars to make you holler, I get paid to do the wild thing'
She asked for fifty bucks for her services and got paid for sex
Say what?
What did you say?
Yo love, you must be kidding
You can't be serious
You're walkin', babe
You're leaving
Just break out of here
Just leave right now
Hasta la vista, baby
Goodbye
Wild thing
I'm a wild man
Wild thing
I'm crazy
She loved to do the wild thing
She enjoyed having sex
Please, baby, baby, please
Please baby, have sex with me
