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
Then said "hey babe take a walk on the wild side"
I said "hey babe take a walk on the wild side." All right
Candy came from out on the Island
In the back room she was everybody's darling
But she never once lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She said "hey babe take a walk on the wild side"
I said "hey Candy take a walk on the wild side"
And the colored 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 you said "hey Joe take a walk on the wild side"
I said "hey baby 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 them 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"
All right, huh
Jackie she is just speeding away
She thought she was James Dean for a day
But then you know that she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash
Said "hey Jackie take a walk on the wild side"
I said "hey babe take a walk on the wild side"
And the colored girls go
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."
