Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stepping out to Angellucci's for my coffee beans
Checkin' out the movies and the magazines
My waitress, she watches me crossin' from the Barocco Bar
I get a pickup for my steel guitar
I saw you walkin' out Shaftesbury Avenue
[Verse 2]
Excuse me talkin', I wanna marry you
This is Seventh Heaven street to me
Don't you seem so proud?
You're just another angel in the crowd
[Verse 3]
And I'm walkin' in the Wild West End
Walkin' in the Wild West End
Walkin' with your wild best friend
[Verse 4]
Now my conductress on the number nineteen
She was a honey (She was a honey)
Pink toenails and hands all dirty with money
Greasy, greasy, greasy hair
Easy smile
She made me feel 19 for a while
[Verse 5]
I went down, ch-ch, uh-uh, Chinatown
In the backroom, it's a man's world
All the money go down
Duck inside the doorway, duck to eat
There just ain't no way
You and me, we can't beat
[Verse 6]
Walkin' in the Wild West End
Walkin' in the Wild West End
Walkin' with your wild best friend
[Verse 7]
Down in
A go-go dancing girl
Yes, I saw her
The DJ, he say
"Here's Mandy for ya"
Feel alright
Seein' her do that stuff
She's dancin' high and I'm moving mine
The closeups can get rough
[Verse 8]
When you're walkin' in the Wild West End
Walkin', walkin' walkin in the Wild West End
Keep walkin' with your wild best friend
Walkin', walkin' in the
