Holly came from Miami F.L.A
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and he was a she
She said, "Hey baby"

Candy came out from Long Island
In the backroom she was everybody's darling
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving it
She said, "Hey sugar"
Take a walk on the wild side
She said, "Hey baby"
Take a walk on the wild side
Take a walk on the wild side
Take a walk on the wild side
Take a walk on the wild side

Everybody had to pay and pay and pay
A hustle here, a hustle there

They said, "Hey babe"
Take a walk on the wild side
Take a walk on the wild side
Yeah
Take a walk on the wild side
Take a walk on the wild side

Take a walk on the wild side
Oh, Sugar Plum Fairy
Came and hit the streets
Looking for soul food and a place to eat
She went to the Apollo
Should have seen her go-go-go
They said, "Hey sugar"
Take a walk on the wild side
Take a walk on the wild side
Take a walk on the wild side
Hey baby
Take a walk on the wild side
Oh yeah
Take a walk on the wild side
Yeah yeah
Take a walk on the wild side

Take a walk on the wild side
Yeah yeah yeah
Take a walk on the wild side
My my
Take a walk on the wild side
Yeah
And the colored girls go
And the colored girls go
And the colored girls go

Baby it's you
Baby it's me
Maybe it's you, maybe it's me
Maybe it's you and me
Baby it's you
Baby it's me
