Walk On the Wild Side

Holly came from Miami, Fla

Hitchhiked her way across the USA.

Plucked her eyebrows on the way

Shaved her leg and then he was she - she said:

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 everybodys darling,

But she never lost her head

Even when she was given head - she said

Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side,

Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.

And the coloured girls go, doo dodoo

Little Joe never once gave it away,

Ev'rybody had to pay and pay.

A hustle here and a hustle there

New York city is no place where they said:

Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side,

Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.

Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets

Looking 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,

Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.

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 bash - she said:

Hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side,

Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.

And the coloured girls go, doo dodoo
