D
In the heat of the summer

Better call up the plumber
B
And turn on the street pump

To cool me off
D
With your newspaper writers

And your big crime fighters
B
You still need a drugstore

To cure my cough


[Chorus]
D
Running wild in the streets
B
Running wild in the streets
D
Running wild in the streets
B
Running wild in the streets


[Verse]
D
We got a gang called Shady

And a midnight lady
B
And two transvestites

To beat the band
D
You better not touch us

You best believe us
B
Your teenage Johnny's

Gonna be a man


[Chorus]
D
Runnin' wild in the streets
B
Running wild in the streets
D
Running wild in the streets
B
Running wild in the streets


[Bridge]
A
Mrs. America
                                 B
Tell me how is your favorite son?
A
Do you really care
B
What he has done?


[Chorus]
D
Runnin' wild in the streets
B
Running wild in the streets
D
Running wild in the streets
B
Running wild in the streets
D
Running wild in the streets
B
Running wild in the streets
D
Running wild in the streets
B
Running wild in the streets
