Take a Walk On the Wild Side

Holly came from Miami F.L.A.

Hitch-hiked her way 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 say, hey, baby, take a walk on the wild side

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

And the colored girls go

Doo doo-doo doo-doo doo doo-doo

Doo doo-doo doo-doo doo doo-doo doo

Take a walk on the wild side

Doo doo-doo doo-doo doo doo-doo

Doo doo-doo doo-doo doo doo-doo doo

Take a walk on the wild side

Doo doo-doo doo-doo doo doo-doo

Doo doo-doo doo-doo doo doo-doo doo

Little Joe never once gave it away

Everybody had to pay and pay

A hustle here and a hustle there

New York City is 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 have seen him go, go, go

"Hey, Sugar, take a walk on the wild side"

I said, hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side

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

Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side

Hey, honey, take a walk on the wild side

Doo doo-doo doo-doo doo doo-doo

Doo doo-doo doo-doo doo doo-doo doo

Take a walk on the wild side

Doo doo-doo doo-doo doo doo-doo

Doo doo-doo doo-doo doo doo-doo doo

Take a walk on the wild side

Doo doo-doo doo-doo doo doo-doo

Doo doo-doo doo-doo doo doo-doo doo

Take a walk on the wild side

Doo doo-doo doo-doo doo doo-doo

Doo doo-doo doo-doo doo doo-doo doo
