af Lou Reed
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
She 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 babe Take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls go doo do doo do doo do do doo, ....
Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hussle here and a hussle there
New York City's 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've seen 'em 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
All right, huh 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
Said, Hey babe, Take a walk on the wild side
I said, Hey honey, Take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls say, doo do doo do doo do do doo, ....
