Holly came from Miami F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows along the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,
Said, baby, take a walk on the wild side.

You know Candy's from out on the island,
In the backroom she was everybody's darling,
But she never once lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She says, she couldn't say she had something in her mouth at the time
But if she did she'd say let's take a walk on the wild side
And everybody has to sing and go

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Little Joe well never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay, everybody had to pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City is some place where they said:
Hey Joe where you going with that gun in your hand
I said Joe, why don't you please take a walk on the wild side

Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin' for soul food and a warm place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should have seen him go, go, go
They said, hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side
Take a walk on the wild side, alright, huh

Jackie she's just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean living for a whole goddamn day
But you know then I she had a crash
Valium would have helped that bash
Jackie take a walk on the wild side
Jackie take a walk on the wild side
And everybody sing so beautifully

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
