Walk on the wildside lyrics
by Lou Reed



Holly came from Miami, Fla
Hitchhiked her way across the USA
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her leg and then he was 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, babe, take a walk on the wild side
Said hey, honey, take a walk on the wild side
And the coloured girls go, dododo...

(Dododo...)

Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York city is no 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
Looking 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
Alright
Ha

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 bash, she said

Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side
She said hey, honey, take a walk on the wild side
And the coloured girls go, dododo...

(Dododo...)
