Take A Walk On The Wild Side Songtext
Holly came from Miami, FLA.
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.
She said, Hey honey,
take a walk on the wild side.

Candy came from out on the island.
In the back room she was everybody's darling.
But she never lost her head
Even when she was givin' head.
She says, Hey babe,
take a walk on the wild side.
She said, Hey babe,
take a walk on the wild side.
And the colored girls go
dododo dodo dododo do dodo dodo dododo do dodo dodo dododo do dodo dodo dododo

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 said, Hey, babe,
take a walk on the wild side.
They 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,
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 speedin' 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
dododo dodo dododo do dodo dodo dododo do dodo dodo dododo do dodo dodo dododo
