Walk On The Wild Side
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Holly came from Miami FLA
Hitch Hicked away across the USA
Plucked her eye brows 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 home out on the Island
In the back room she was every body's darling
But she never lost her head
Even when she was even head she said
Hey babe take a walk on the wild side
Said hey babe take a walk on the wild side
And the colores girls godoo doo doo
Little Joe never once gave it away
Every body 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
Said hey babe take a walk on the wild side
Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Looking for soul food and a place to eat
Want to 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
Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then they guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash
She said hey babe take a walk on the wild side
Said hey honey take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls say doo doo doo
