Lyrics

Holly came from miami to .l.a
Hitch hiked her way cross the u.s.a
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 from out on the island
In the back room she was every body's darling
But she never lost head
Even when she givin' head, she said
Hey babe take a walk on the wild side
Said hey babe take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls go doo 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 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 appollo
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 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
And the colored girls say doo doo doo
