CHolly came from Miami, F.L.DmA., Chitch-hiked her way across the U.S.DmA.
CPlucked her eyebrows Dmon the way, Fshaved her leg and then Dmhe was a she
She says, Chey babe, take a walk on the Dmwild side, said, Chey honey, take a walk on the Dmwild 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 coloured girls go

CDoo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
DmDoo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
CDoo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
DmDoo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

C(doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
Dm(doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)

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, lookin 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
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 dash
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side, I said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
And the coloured girls say

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
