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


She says, Hey babe

                     
Take a walk on the wild side


Hey honey

                     
Take a walk on the wild side


                              
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 giving head


She says, Hey babe

                    
Take a walk on the wild side


I Said, Hey baby

                    
Take a walk on the wild side


And the coloured girls go

                        
doo do doo do doo do do doo..

                              
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 they say,

                             
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've seen em go go go

                                        
They said, Hey shuga Take a walk on the wild side


I Said, Hey babe

        
Take a walk on the wild side

            
All right, huh

                       
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 bash

       
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 do doo do doo do do doo
