Holly came from Miami, FLA
Hitchhiked her way across the USA
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
And shaved her legs and he was, she said
Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
Said hey baby, take a walk on the wild side
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 given head, she said
Hey pretty baby, take a walk on the wild side
I said hey lady, take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls go
Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York city is no place where they said
Hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side
I said hey Joey, take a walk on the wild side
Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets
Looking for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo, you should
Have seen him go go go, I said
Hey mama, mama, take a walk on the wild side
I said hey mama, take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls go
Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
When I know she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash, said
Said, hey pretty baby, take a walk on the wild side
I said hey baby, take a walk on the wild side
I said hey mama, mama, take a walk on the wild side
Keep on walking, keep on walking
Take a walk on the wild side
Take a walk on the wild side
Take a walk on the wild side
Take a walk on the wild side
Take a walk on the wild side
Take a walk on the wild side
