WALK ON THE WILD SIDE

Holly came from Miami F.L.A.
Hitchhiked her way across the U.S.A.

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!

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 says, hey babe,
take a walk on the wild side!

Said, hey babe,
take a walk on the wild side!

And the coloured girls go
doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo,
doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, 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'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!

Sugarplum Fairy came and hit the streets,
lookin' for soul food and a place to eat.

Went to the Apollo,
you should of 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 would have helped that pass.

She said, hey babe,
take a walk on the wild side!

I said, hey honey,
take a walk on the wild side!

And the coloured girls said
doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo,
doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo,

doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo,
doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
