songs  title:walk  on  the  wild  side

holly  came  from  miami  f.l.a.

hitch h-ked  her  way  across  the  u.s.a.

plucked  her  eyebrows  on  the  way

shaved  her  leg  and  then  he  was  a  she

she  says,  hey  babe,  take  a  walk  on  the  wild  side

said,  hey  honey,  take  a  walk  on  the  wild  side

candy  came  from  out  on  the  island

in  the  backroom  she  was  everybodys  darling

but  she  never  lost  her  head

even  when  she  was  given  head

she  says,  hey  babe,  take  a  walk  on  the  wild  side

said,  hey  babe,  take  a  walk  on  the  wild  side

and  the  coloured  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)

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

hey  babe,  take  a  walk  on  the  wild  side

i  said  hey  joe,  take  a  walk  on  the  wild  side

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

all  right,  huh

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  dash

she  said,  hey  babe,  take  a  walk  on  the  wild  side

i  said,  hey  honey,  take  a  walk  on  the  wild  side

and  the  coloured  girls  say

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
