Holly came from Miami, FLA
Hitch-hiked her way across the USA
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs 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 darlin
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She says: Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side
Said: Hey, honey
Take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls

Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should've seen 'em go go go
Hey, sugar
Take a walk on the wild side
I said: Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side
Alright

Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
But then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash
She said I said hey, honey
Take a walk on the wild side
