[Verse 1]
Holly came from Miami to L.A.
Hitchhiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she, she says
[Verse 2]
Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side
Said, hey, honey, take a walk on the wild side
[Verse 3]
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 givin' head, she says
[Verse 4]
Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side
Said, hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side
[Verse 5]
Horns
[Verse 6]
De, de-de, de-de, de-de-de-de
De, de-de, de-de, de-de-de-de
De, de-de, de-de, de-de-de-de
De, de-de, de-de, de-de-de-de
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey, Joe, take a walk on the wild side
[Verse 9]
Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin' for soul-food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You shoulda seen him go, go, go, they said
[Verse 10]
Hey, sugar, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side
[Verse 11]
Jackie is just speedin' it away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
A valium would've helped that past , she said
[Verse 12]
Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey, honey, take a walk on the wild side
And the honey honks it
[Verse 13]
De, de-de, de-de, de-de-de-de
De, de-de, de-de, de-de-de-de
De, de-de, de-de, de-de-de-de
De, de-de, de-de, de-de-de-de
