Walk on the Wild Side

Walk on the Wild Side / Lou Reed

Holly came from miami FLA Hitch-hiked her way across the USA

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 everybody’s darling

But she never lost her head Even when she was givin' 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) (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
