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 said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
she said hey hunny take a walk on the wild side
Candy came from out on the island
in the back room she was everybody's darlin'
but she never lost her head
even when she was giving head
she said hey babe take a walk on the wild side
she said hey babe take a walk on the wild side
and the colored girls sing
dodedodedodo
dedododedodedo
Little joe never once give 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
they said hey joe take a walk on the wild side
Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets
looking for some food and a place to eat
went to the apollo
you should have seen him 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, huh
Jackie is just spinning away
thought she was james dean
for a day
then i guess she had to crash
valium would have had that bash
she said hey babe take a walk on the wild side
she said hey hunny take a walk on the wild side
and the colored girls sing
dodedodedodo
dedododedodedo
(repeated many times)
