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 baby, take a walk on the wild side,""
She says, ""Hey honey, take a walk on the wild side alright.""
Candy came from out on the island, alright
In the backroom 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""
She says, ""Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side.""
And everybody goes,
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo 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 he says
""Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,""
She says ""Hey Sugar, 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've seen him go, go, go
He says, ""Hey he bet-, aye aye take a walk on the wild side,""
Hey says, ""Hey babe, 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 fast
She says, ""Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,""
She says, ""Hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.""
And everybody goes
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo dooo
