[Verse 1]
Holly came from Miami, FLA
Hitchhiked her way across the U.S.A
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she

[Chorus]
She says, "hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"
Said, "hey honey, take a walk on the wild side"

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
She says, "hey baby, take a walk on the wild side"
Said, "hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"

[Post-Chorus]
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-dooh

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
"Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"
I said, "hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side"

[Verse 4]
Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Looking for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should have seen him go go go
[Chorus]
They said, "hey sugar, take a walk on the wild side"
I said "hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"
Alright

[Verse 5]
Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess that she had to crash
Valium would have helped that dash

[Chorus]
She said, "hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side"
I said, "hey honey, take a walk on the wild side"
Alright

[Post-Chorus]
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
Doo-doo-doo, dooh
