In the back room she was everybody's darling
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head

Looking for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo

Take a walk on the wild side", alright

I said, "Hey, honey
Take a walk on the wild side"
And the colored girls say
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."
