Holly came from Miami F.L.A.
  hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
  
  Plucked her eyebrows on the way

  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 given head

  said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
  and the coloured 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)
  (Doo)

  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
