  Holly came from Miami, F.L  .A.
  Hitchhiked her way across the U.S  .A.
  Plucked her eyebrows   on the way,
  Shaved her legs 'then h  e was a she, she said
 
 
  Hey babe, take a walk on the   wild side,
  Hey honey, take a walk on the   wild side
(Joe)
(Sugar)
 
 
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 givin'head, she said
 
 
  Hey babe, take a walk on the   wild side,
  Hey honey, take a walk on the   wild side
(Joe)
(Sugar)
 
 
And the colored girls go :
  Doo, d-doo, d-doo, doo d-doo d  oo, d-doo, d-doo, doo d-doo
Doo, d-doo, d-doo, doo d-doo doo, d-doo, d-doo, doo d-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 that place where they say (Hey Joe)
 
 
  Hey babe, take a walk on the   wild side,
  Hey honey, take a walk on the   wild side
(Joe)
(Sugar)
 
 
Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the street
Lookin'for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo, you should have seen him go, go go they said ..
 
 
  Hey babe, take a walk on the   wild side,
  Hey honey, take a walk on the   wild side
(Joe)
(Sugar)
 
 
Jackie is just speedin'away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium could've helped that bash, I said
 
 
  Hey babe, take a walk on the   wild side,
  Hey honey, take a walk on the   wild side
(Joe)
(Sugar)
 
 
And the colored girls go :
 
 
  Doo, d-doo, d-doo, doo d-doo d  oo, d-doo, d-doo, doo d-doo
Doo, d-doo, d-doo, doo d-doo doo, d-doo, d-doo, doo d-doo doo
