[Verse 1]
Holly came from Miami, FLA
Hitchhiked her way across the USA
Plucked her eyebrows along the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she

[Chorus]
Then said, "Hey honey, who'll take a walk on the wild side?"
Ah ah, "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"

[Verse 2]
Candy came from out on the Island
In the backroom, she was just everybody's darling
She never lost her head
Even when she was giving good head

[Chorus]
She said, "Hey man, take a walk on the wild side"
I said, "Hey pretty, take a walk on the wild side"

[Post Chorus]
And the colored 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-doo
Dooh)
[Verse 3]
Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay and pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City is the place where they said

[Chorus]
"Hey man, take a walk on the wild side"
Said, "Hey girl, take a walk on the wild side"

[Verse 4]
Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Looking for soul food and for a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You shoulda seen her go, go, go

[Chorus]
She said, "Hey baby, take a walk on the wild side"
I said, "Hey man, why don't you go take a walk on the wild side"
Uh huh, hah!

[Verse 5]
Jackie, she's just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then you know that she had to crash
Oh Valium woulda, woulda helped that bash
[Chorus]
She said, "Hey man, take a walk on the wild side"
I said, "Hey baby, take a walk on the wild side"

[Post Chorus]
