Lou Reed - Walk On The Wild Side lyrics

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 said, 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 given head

She said, hey baby, take a walk on the wild side

She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side

And the coloured girls go, 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 honey, take a walk on the wild side

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 ...
