Walk On The Wild Side

Holly came from Miami, FLA

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

She 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, ...."
