[Verse 1]
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"
He said: "Hey honey, take a walk on the wild side"
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Candy came from out on the island
In the backroom she was everybody's darlin'
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She said: "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"
Said: "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"
And the colored girls go
[Refrain] (Doo, do-doo, do-doo, doo...)

[Verse 3]
Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here, hustle there
New York City is the place where
They said: "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"
Said: "Hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side"
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should've seen 'em 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
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
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"
And the colored girls say:
[Refrain] (Doo, do-doo, do-doo, doo...)
