Holly came from Miami, F-L-A

Hitchhiked her way across the U-S-A

Plucked her eyebrows on the way

Shaved her legs

Then he was a she

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

She say hey honey, 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 givin' head

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

She says hey honey, take a walk on the wild side

And the colored girls sing

Doot, doo doot, doo doot, doo doot doo doot

Doot, doo doot, doo doot, doo doot doo doot

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

They said hey joe, take a walk on the wild side

Sugar plum fairies 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

They said hey sugar, take a walk on the wild side

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

Jackie is just speedin' away

Thought she was james dean for a day

Then i guess she had to crash

Valium would've helped that bash

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

She said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side

And the colored girls sing

Doot, doo doot, doo doot, doo doot doo doot

Doot, doo doot, doo doot, doo doot doo doot
