Walk on the Wild Side lyrics
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
