Holly came from Miami, FLA |
|
Hitch-hiked her way across the USA |
|
Plucked her eyebrows on the way |
|
Shaved her legs and then he was a she |
|
She says, "Hey babe, |
|
Take a walk on the wild side." |
|
She said, "Hey honey, |
|
Take a walk on the wild side." |
|
Candy came from out on the Island |
|
In the backroom she was everybody's darlin' |
|
But she never lost her head |
|
Even when she was giving head |
|
She says, "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 do doo do doo 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 |
|
Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat |
|
Went to the Apollo |
|
You should've seen 'em 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." |
|
All right, huh |
|
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." |
|
I said, "Hey honey, |
|
Take a walk on the wild side." |
|
And the colored girls say: |
|
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo, ...." |
