[Verse 1]
Holly came from Miami, F-L-A
Hitch-hiked her way across the USA
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs, and then he was a she
[Refrain]
She says, "Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side"
Said, "Hey, honey, take a walk on the wild side"
[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain]
She says, "Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side"
Said, "Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side"
[Chorus]
And the colored girls go
Do-do-do, do-do, do, do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do, do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do, do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do, do-do
[Chorus]
Do, do-do, do-do, do, do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do, do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do, do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do, do-do, do
[Verse 3]
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
[Refrain]
They said, "Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side"
I said, "Hey, Joe, take a walk on the wild side"
[Verse 4]
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 him go, go, go
[Refrain]
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
[Verse 5]
Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would've helped that bash
[Refrain]
She said, "Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side"
I said, "Hey, honey, take a walk on the wild side"
[Chorus]
And the colored girls say
Do, do-do, do-do, do, do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do, do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do, do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do, do-do
[Chorus]
Do, do-do, do-do, do, do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do, do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do, do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do, do-do
[Outro]
Do, do-do, do-do, do, do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do, do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do, do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do, do-do, do
