Lou Reed - Walk On the Wild Side

Holly  came  from  Miami,  Fla
Hitchhiked  her  way  across  the  USA.
Plucked  her  eyebrows  on  the  way
Shaved  her  leg  and  then  he  was  she  -  she  said:

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  everybodys  darling,
But  she  never  lost  her  head
Even  when  she  was  given  head  -  she  said

Hey  Babe,  take  a  walk  on  the  wild  side,
Said  hey  honey,  take  a  walk  on  the  wild  side.
And  the  coloured  girls  go,  doo  dodoo

Little  Joe  never  once  gave  it  away,
Ev'rybody  had  to  pay  and  pay.
A  hustle  here  and  a  hustle  there
New  York  city  is  no  place  where  they  said:

Hey  Babe,  take  a  walk  on  the  wild  side,
Said  hey  honey,  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,
Said  hey  honey,  take  a  walk  on  the  wild  side.

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  -  she  said:

Hey  Sugar,  take  a  walk  on  the  wild  side,
Said  hey  honey,  take  a  walk  on  the  wild  side.
And  the  coloured  girls  go,  doo  dodoo
