| Holly came from Miami FLA
|
| Hitch-hiked her way across the USA.
|
| Plucked her eyebrows on the way
|
| Shaved her leg 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 backroom she was everybody’s darling,
|
| But she never lost her head
|
| Even when she was given head
|
| She said, hey baby, take a walk on the wild side
|
| She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
|
| And the coloured girls go, doo doo doo, doo …
|
| Little Joe never once gave it away
|
| Everybody 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
|
| 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 have seen him go go go
|
| They said, hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side
|
| I said, hey honey, 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 dash
|
| She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
|
| I said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
|
| And the coloured girls say doo doo doo, doo … |
