Holly came from Miami F-L-A
        hitchhiked her way across the U.S.A.

        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 givin' 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
        lookin' for soul food and a 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
        I said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
        all right, huh

        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
        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)
