Lyrics

Holly came from Miami, FLA Hitch-hiked her way across the USA Plucked her eyebrows along the way Shaved her legs and then he was a she They said, "Hey, babe Take a walk on the wild side" I said, "Hey, babe Take a walk on the wild side" Alright Candy came from out on the Island In the back room she was everybody's darling But she never once lost her head Even when she was giving head She said, "Hey, babe Take a walk on the wild side" I said, "Hey, Candy Take a walk on the wild side" And the colored girls go "Doo, do-doo, do-doo, do-do-doo Doo, do-doo, do-doo, do-do-doo Doo, do-doo, do-doo, do-do-doo Doo, do-doo, do-doo, do-do-doo Doo, do-doo, do-doo, do-do-doo Doo, do-doo, do-doo, do-do-doo Doo, do-doo, do-doo, do-do-doo 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 you said, "Hey, Joe Take a walk on the wild side" I said, "Hey, baby Take a walk on the wild side" Sugar Plum Fairy came down and hit the streets Looking for soul food and for 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" Alright Huh Jackie, she is just speeding away She thought she was James Dean for a day But then you know that she had to crash Valium would have helped that bash She said, "Hey, Jackie Take a walk on the wild side" I said, "Hey, babe Take a walk on the wild side" And the colored girls go "Doo, do-doo, do-doo, do-do-doo Doo, do-doo, do-doo, do-do-doo Doo, do-doo, do-doo, do-do-doo Doo, do-doo, do-doo, do-do-doo Doo, do-doo, do-doo, do-do-doo Doo, do-doo, do-doo, do-do-doo Doo, do-doo, do-doo, do-do-doo Doo, do-doo, do-doo, do-do-doo Doo, do-doo, do-doo, do-do-doo Doo, do-doo, do-doo, do-do-doo Doo, do-doo, do-doo, do-do-doo Doo, do-doo, do-doo, do-do-doo"
