    A hustle here and a hustle there

    Walk On The Wild New York City's the place

    Side Where they said, "Hey, babe


    Take a walk on the wild side"
    Lou Reed I said, "Hey, Joe
    Take a walk on the wild side"
    Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
    Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
    Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
    Plucked her eyebrows on the way
    Looking for soul food and a place to eat
    Shaved her legs and then he was a she
    Went to the Apollo
    You should've seen them go, go, go
    She says, "Hey, babe
    Take a walk on the wild side"
    They said, "Hey, sugar
    Said, "Hey, honey
    Take a walk on the wild side"
    Take a walk on the wild side"
    I said, "Hey, babe
    Take a walk on the wild side", alright
    Candy came from out on the Island
    Huh
    In the back room she was everybody's darling
    But she never lost her head
    Jackie is just speeding away
    Even when she was giving head
    Thought she was James Dean for a day
    Then I guess she had to crash
    She says, "Hey, babe
    Valium would have helped that bash
    Take a walk on the wild side"
    Said, "Hey, babe
    She said, "Hey, babe
    Take a walk on the wild side"
    Take a walk on the wild side"
    I said, "Hey, honey
    And the colored girls go
    Take a walk on the wild side"
    "Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."

    And the colored girls say


    Little Joe never once gave it away
    "Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."
    Everybody had to pay and pay
