[Intro: Ncuti Gatwa & JADE]
Ladies and gentlemen, theys and thems
Hold on tight, the performance is about to begin (Hahahahaha)
Flash photography and video is encouraged (Ah)
Hahahaha (Ah)
Enjoy the show (Ah)
[Refrain: JADE]
Midnight's here, and I'm ready to go
I'ma saddle him up, hold him down, I'ma saddle him up
Fantasy, leather chaps on the floor
I'ma saddle him up, hold him down, I'ma saddle him up
[Pre-Chorus: JADE]
Mm, baby, yeah, I been bad
I'm a real wild bitch, yeah, I'm mental
I'm the ride of your life, not a rental
I'm the editor, call me Mr. Enninful
No vanilla, let's experimental
I'ma show you the ropes, get you whipped on 'em
And I know you needed something you could sin for
I'm about to perform like I'm on tour
Baby, clap for the encore
[Chorus: JADE]
Giddy up, it's the Wild Wild West
And I think it's 'bout time for the midnight cowboy
(Work, work, work, work)
Giddy up, it's the Wild Wild West
And you know what comes next, it's the midnight cowboy
(Work, work, work, work, work)
[Verse: JADE]
Ayy, better buckle up now
Get a little nasty, take you to the old town
Hey, never find a lass who
Show you what the back do, givin' you the Ginuwine
Neigh, name a better duo, I'll wait
Nothin' wrong with a little horseplay
Put me in reverse now
Bitch, I'm a girl cow, watch me while I sit down
[Refrain: JADE]
Midnight's here, and he's ready to blow
I'ma saddle him up, hold him down, I'ma saddle him up
Ecstasy, ponytail, grab a hold
I'ma saddle him up, hold him down, I'ma saddle him up (Work, work, work, work)
[Chorus: JADE]
Giddy up, it's the Wild Wild West
And I think it's 'bout time for the midnight cowboy
(Work, work, work, work; I)
Giddy up, it's the Wild Wild West
And you know what comes next, it's the midnight cowboy
(Work, work, work, work, work; I, I, ah)
[Interlude: Ncuti Gatwa & JADE]
They call her, they call her "Calamity JADE"
(Work, work, work, work, work)
Giddy, giddy, giddy up, yee-haw
(Work, work, work, work) Ah
[Pre-Chorus: JADE]
Mm, baby, yeah, I been bad (Bad)
I'm a real wild bitch, yeah, I'm mental (Mental)
I'm the ride of your life, not a rental (Rental)
I'm the editor, call me Mr. Enninful
No vanilla, let's experimental
I'ma show you the ropes, get you whipped on 'em
And I know you needed something you could sin for
I'm about to perform like I'm on tour
Baby, clap for the encore
[Chorus: JADE]
Giddy up, it's the Wild Wild West
And I think it's 'bout time for the midnight cowboy
(Work, work, work, work; yeah)
Giddy up, it's the Wild Wild West
And you know what comes next, it's the midnight cowboy
(Work, work, work, work; ah)
[Outro: JADE & Ncuti Gatwa]
Ah, yeah (Work, work, work, work)
Giddy, giddy, giddy up, yee-haw (Work, work, work, work)
Ah, yee-haw, I'm really setting the bar
Ah (Work, work, work, work)
Uh, so fun, the barrel of his gun
Ooh, you better put your hands together, make it clap for miss JADE
Ha, that is a performance, hahahaha

Ncuti’s reaction was… gagging for it, hun. He was up for it, straight away. I just knew he would be the perfect person to feature on the song, so I just messaged and, yeah, he was well up for it. He sent me like 7 different accents, I asked for the speaking part, and obviously being the fabolous act...
