60's/70's Heavy Songs: Walk on the Wild Side - Lou Reed

Holly came from Miami F L A

Hitchhiked her way across the U S A

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 just everybody's darling

But she never lost her head

Even when she was giving head

She says, hey baby, take a walk on the wild side

Said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side

And the colored girls go

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo 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

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, she is just speeding away

Thought she was James Dean for a day

Then you know that she had to crash on

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 doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
