Artist: Lou Reed Album: Transformer (1972) Title: Walk On The Wild Side
Lyrics Walk On The Wild SideHolly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the USA
Plucked her eyebrows along the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, Hey honey
Take a walk on the wild side
Hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side
Candy came from out on the Island
In the backroom she was just 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
I Said, Hey baby
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 hustle here and a busle there
New York City's the place where they say,
Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said, Hey girl
Take a walk on the wild side
Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin' for soul food and a place to sleep
Went to the Apollo
You should've seen em go go go
They said, Hey shuga Take a walk on the wild side
I Said, Hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side
All right, huh
Jackie is just leading away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then you know that 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 |
