Holly came from Miami, F-LA
Hitchhiked 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
Said: Hey, honey, take a walk on the wild side

Candy came from out on the Island
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
Said: Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side

And the colored girls go
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)

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

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
Looking for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should've seen him go, go, go

They said: Hey, sugar, take a walk on the wild side
I said: Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side
Alright, huh

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

She said: Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said: Hey, honey, take a walk on the wild side

And the colored girls say
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)
