Walk On The Wild Side Lyrics By Lou Reed

    holly came from miami fla
    hitchhiked 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
    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 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 doodoo doodoo doodoodoo
    doo doodoo doodoo doodoodoo
    doo doodoo doodoo doodoodoo
    doo doodoo doodoo doodoodoo
    doo doodoo doodoo doodoodoo
    doo doodoo doodoo doodoodoo
    doo doodoo doodoo doodoodoo
    doo doodoo doodoo doodoodoo
    dooh

    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
    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 huh

    jackie is just speeding away
    thought she was james dean for a day
    then i guess that she had to crash
    valium would have helped that bash

    she said hey babe take a walk on the wild side
    i said hey honey take a walk on the wild side

    post
    and the colored girls say
    doo doodoo doodoo doodoodoo
    doo doodoo doodoo doodoodoo
    doo doodoo doodoo doodoodoo
    doo doodoo doodoo doodoodoo
    doo doodoo doodoo doodoodoo
    doo doodoo doodoo doodoodoo
    doo doodoo doodoo doodoodoo
    doo doodoo doodoo doodoodoo
    doo doodoo doodoo doodoodoo
    doo doodoo doodoo doodoodoo
    doo doodoo doodoo doodoodoo
    doo doodoo doodoo doodoodoo
    dooh
