Holly came from Miami, F-L-A |
|
Hitchhiked her way across the U-S-A |
|
Plucked her eyebrows on the way |
|
Shaved her legs |
|
Then he was a she |
|
She says hey babe, take a walk on the wild side, |
|
She say hey honey, take a walk on the wild side |
|
Candy came from out on the island |
|
In the back room she was everybody's darlin' |
|
But she never lost her head |
|
Even when she was givin' head |
|
She says hey babe, take a walk on the wild side |
|
She says hey honey, take a walk on the wild side |
|
And the colored girls sing |
|
Doot, doo doot, doo doot, doo doot doo doot |
|
Doot, doo doot, doo doot, doo doot doo doot |
|
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 |
|
They said hey joe, take a walk on the wild side |
|
Sugar plum fairies came and hit the streets |
|
Lookin' 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 |
|
They said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side |
|
Jackie is just speedin' away |
|
Thought she was james dean for a day |
|
Then i guess she had to crash |
|
Valium would've helped that bash |
|
She said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side |
|
She said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side |
|
And the colored girls sing |
|
Doot, doo doot, doo doot, doo doot doo doot |
|
Doot, doo doot, doo doot, doo doot doo doot |
