Walk On The Wild Side

Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.

Hitch-hiked her way across the USA

Plucked her eyebrows on the way

Shaved her legs and then he was a she

She says, Hey babe

Take a walk on the wild side

She said, Hey honey

Take a walk on the wild side



Candy came from out on the Island

In the backroom she was everybody's darlin'

But she never lost her head

Even when she was giving head

She says, Hey babe

Take a walk on the wild side

Said, Hey babe

Take a walk on the wild side

And the colored girls go

doo do doo do doo do do doo



Little Joe never once gave it away

Everybody had to pay and pay

A hustle here and a hustle there

New York City's the place where they said, Hey babe

Take a walk on the wild side

I said, Hey Joe

Take a walk on the wild side



Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets

Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat

Went to the Apollo

You should've seen 'em go go go

They said, Hey sugar

Take a walk on the wild side

I Said, Hey babe

Take a walk on the wild side

All right, huh



Jackie is just speeding away

Thought she was James Dean for a day

Then I guess she had to crash

Valium would have helped that bash

Said, Hey babe,

Take a walk on the wild side

I said, Hey honey,

Take a walk on the wild side

And the colored girls say,

doo do doo do doo do do doo
