Take a Walk on the Wild Side

Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.,1

hitchhiked her way across the U.S.A.,

plucked her eyebrows on the way,

shaved her legs, then he was a she.

Said, "Hey, babe, 

take a walk on the wild side."

I said, "Hey, babe, 

take a walk on the wild side."

Candy came from out on the island.

In the back room, 

she was everybody's darlin',

but she never lost her head

even when she was givin' head.

She said, "Hey, babe, 

take a walk on the wild side."

I say, "Hey, honey, 

take a walk on the wild side."

And the girls go 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, a hustle there,

New York City is the place where I said,

"Hey, baby, take a walk on the wild side."

I said, "Hey, dude, take a walk on the wild side."

Alright...

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."

Alright...

some Valium would have helped that dash.
