Intro: CF x4
CF
Holly came from Miami, FLA,
CF
hitchhiked her way across the USA.
CDm
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
FDm
Shaved her legs and then he was a she. She says :
CF
Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,
CFCFCF
said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.
CF
Candy came from out on the island,
CF
in the backroom she was everybodyʼs darling.
CDm
But she never lost her head,
FDm
even when she was giving head. She says:
CF
Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,
CF
she said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side.
And the colored girls go
CFCFCF
Do do do... do do do...
CF
Little Joe never once gave it away,
CF
everybody had to pay and pay.
CDm
A hustle here and a hustle there,
FDm
New York City is the place where they said :
CF
Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,
CFCFCF
I said, hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side.
CF
Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets,
CF
looking for soul food and a place to eat.
CDm
Went to the Apollo,
FDm
you should have seen him go, go go, they said:
CF
Hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side,
CF
I said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side.
CFCF
All right! Ha!
CF
Jackie is just speeding away,
CF
thought she was James Dean for a day.
CDm
Then I guess she had to crash,
FDm
Valium would have helped that fast, she said:
CF
Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,
CF
I said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.
And the colored girls say
CFCFCF
Do do do... do do do...
