[Verse 1]
Me and Joe were drivin' in his rusty van
Makin' last a-call is gonna be tight
Well I'm dreamin' of a girl I'll never see again
Where we went to get a drink tonight
A dream of silhouettes embracing
Then one reaches to turn off the light
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're on the search
Yeah, we're on the search
Yeah, I'm always searchin'
Hey, I'm on the search
Yeah, 'cause I'm a wigglin' jigglin' fool
Until the break of dawn
[Chorus]
Yeah, I keep searchin'
I keep searchin'
Yeah, I keep a-searchin' all the time
Yeah, I keep searchin'
I keep searchin'
Hey, I keep a-searchin'
Yeah, well I know I'll never find it but I just can't stop
[Verse 2]
Well pretenders all pretend, they got to look a-depressed

When I'm stripped of all identity
And floating through an urban life
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm on the search
Yeah, I'm on the search
Hey, I'm always searchin'
Yeah, I'm on the search
Yeah, 'cause I'm a wigglin' jigglin' fool
Until the break of dawn
(Alright, let's rock it!)
A-well I know I'll never find it but I just can't stop
[Chorus]
I keep searchin'
I keep searchin'
I keep a-searchin' all the time
Yeah yeah, 'cause I'm a wigglin' jigglin' fool
'Cause I'm a wigglin' jigglin' fool
'Cause I'm a wigglin' jigglin' fool
Until the break of dawn
