Joseph Arthur - Walk On The Wild Side Lyrics
(Verse)Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.Plucked her eyebrows on the wayShaved her legs and then he was a sheShe said 'Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side'Said 'Hey, honey, take a walk on the wild side'(Verse)Candy came from out on the IslandIn the backroom she was everybody's darlingBut she never lost her headEven when she was giving headShe said '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'(Verse)Little Joe never once gave it awayEverybody had to pay and payA hustle here and a hustle thereNew York City's the placeWhere they said 'Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side'I said 'Hey, Joe, take a walk on the wild side'(Verse)Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streetsLooking for soul food and a place to eatWent to the ApolloYou should've seen them go, go, goThey said, 'Hey, sugar, take a walk on the wild side'I said 'Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side'All right, huh(Verse)Jackie is just speeding awayThought she was James Dean for a dayThen I guess she had to crashValium would have helped that bashSaid, "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'
