Walk On the Wild Side

Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.

Hitch-hiked her across the U.S.A.

Plucked her eyebrows on the way

Shaved her legs and then he was a she, she said

Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side

Said, hey, honey, take a walk on the wild side

Candy came from out on the island

In the backroom she was everybody's darling

But she never lost her head, even when she was giving head, she said

Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side

Say, hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side

And the colored girls go

De de de, de de, de de de, de, de de, de de, de de de

Doo de doo, de doo, de de de, de, de doo, de doo, de de doo, doo

Little Joe never once gave it away

Everybody had to pay and pay

A hustle here, 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

The Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets

Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat

Went to the Apollo, you shoulda seen them 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, alright

Jackie is just speeding away

Thought she was James Dean for a day

Then I guess she had to crash, valium woulda 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 de doo, de doo, de de de, de, de doo, de doo, de de doo

Doo de doo, de doo, de de de, de, de doo, de doo, de de doo

Doo de doo, de doo, de de de, de, de doo, de doo, de de doo

Doo de doo, de doo, de de de, de, de doo, de doo, de de doo, doo
