Ricky Wilde Raised By Wolves tells the story of how the second-born of Marty and Joyce Wilde is accidently left in dense woods where he is raised, Mowgli-style, by some willing wolves.

lyrics

Ricky Wilde Raised By Wolves

I’m Ricky Wilde: meek and mild. I was born one Winter’s morn.
Ricky Wilde: flower child... abandoned, helpless and forlorn.
Veiled by shrubs, this man cub, left to face the world alone.
Will he thrive? Will he survive, come the setting of the sun?

Calling everybody in the woods tonight, can you hear me?
Calling everybody in the woods tonight, I need you near me...

…‘cause it’s cold… so cold… so cold, SO COLD
So cold… so cold… so cold… SO COLD!

Now, look at that, it’s a wolf-pack! Fancy that? Will they attack? What they
lack is a quick snack. They say, “Winner! Winner! Man-cub dinner!”

Snakes alive, Ricky cries, for his mum now long-gone.
Wolves are roused. Ricky, drowsed, looks to them to keep him warm.
Wolves descend. Is this the end? The end of which all mother’s warn?
Ricky smiles, wolves, beguiled, bring the child a crown of thorns.

Calling everybody in the woods tonight, can you hear me?
Calling everybody in the woods tonight, hey, please don’t fear me!

A silver bullet in my hand. I’m Ricky Wilde, you understand?
I’m not a wolf. I can’t give you proof, but could a wolf cub raise the roof?
I’m Ricky Wilde, and with my band of wolves we’ll aggrovate this land.
I’m Ricky Wilde. It’s Halloween. Me and my wolf pack made the scene.
We ripped it up and spat it out. Now, would you ever have a doubt?
We own these woods. We hate your guts. I’m Ricky Wilde, you bunch of sluts...

I’m Ricky Wilde, raised by wolves. Ricky Wilde... don’t suffer fools.
Ricky Wilde don’t follow rules. I’m raised by wolves, we say, we’re wolves!
No more man cub. Now there’s the rub. Condemned to live a life of scorn.
The legend says in every way they curse the day that I was born.

Calling everybody in the woods tonight, can you hear me?
Calling everybody in the woods tonight, I’m hungry! Fear me!

‘Cause I’m Wilde! I’m Wilde! I’m Wilde! I’m Wilde!
I’m Wilde! I’m Wilde! I’m Wilde! I’m Wilde!
Ricky Wilde... and sister, Kim. Always... let... the right one... in...
