Walk on the Wild Side lyrics

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 said, "Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side"

"Hey Babe, 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 said, “Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side"

"Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side"

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

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 say...

"Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side"

Say, "Hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side"

Sugar Plum fairy came and hit the street

Looking for soul food and a place to eat

Went to the Apollo

You should have seen them go go go

They said, "Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side"

"Hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side"

Alright

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

She said, “Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side"

Said, “Hey Honey, take a walk on the wild side"

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
