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 says, "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 everybody's darling |
|
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 |
|
Looking for soul food and a place to eat |
|
Went to the Apollo |
|
You should've seen them 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 |
|
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..." |
