Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
      C                         F
Hitch-hiked her way across the USA
C                    D
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
F                        D
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
          C
She says, Hey babe
                   F
Take a walk on the wild side

Candy came from out on the Island
C                                   F
In the backroom she was everybody's darlin'
C             D
But she never lost her head
F                 D
Even when she was giving head
          C
She says, Hey babe
                   F
Take a walk on the wild side
        C
I Said, Hey baby
                   F
Take a walk on the wild side

Little Joe never once gave it away
C                        F
Everybody had to pay and pay
C                   D
A hustle here and a hustle there
F                    D
New York City's the place where they say,
C                            F
Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side

Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
C                                    F
Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat
C           D
Went to the Apollo
F                     D
You should've seen em go go go
           C         
They said, Hey shuga

Take a walk on the wild side

Jackie is just speeding away
C                                F
Thought she was James Dean for a day
C                D
Then I guess she had to crash
F                 D
Valium would have helped that bash
      C
Said, Hey babe,
                   F
Take a walk on the wild side
         C
I said, Hey honey,
