Lyrics

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 then he was a she She say, "Hey, babe Take a walk on the wild side Hey, babe Take a walk on the wild side" Candy came from out on the Island In the back room she was everybody's darling But she never lost her head Even when she was giving head She say, "Hey, babe Take a walk on the wild side Hey, babe Take a walk on the wild side" And the colored girls go "Doo do doo do doo do do doo do do doo do do doo do do Do doo do doo do doo do do doo do doo do do do doo" 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" I said, "Hey, Joe 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've seen them go, go, go They said, "Hey, babe Take a walk on the wild side" Hey, sugar Take a walk on the wild side" All right 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, babe Take a walk on the wild side" Said, "Hey, honey Take a walk on the wild side" Colored girls go "Doo do doo do doo do do doo do do doo do do doo do do Do doo do doo do doo do do doo do doo do do do doo Doo do doo do doo do do doo do do doo do do doo do do Do doo do doo do doo do do doo do doo do do do doo"
