Lou Reed (1972)

Holly came from Miami, FLA, Hitchhiked her way across the USA.
C D F D
Plucked her eyebrows on the way Shaved her leg and then he was a she - she said:
C F C F
Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side, Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.
 
C F C F
Candy came from out on the island, In the backroom she was everybodys darling,
C D F D
But she never lost her head Even when she was given head - she said
C F C F
Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side, Said hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side.

And the coloured girls go: doo dodoo 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:
C F C F
Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side, I said hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side.
 
C F C F
Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets, Looking for soul food and a place to eat
C D F D
Went to the Apollo, you should have seen him go go go - they said:
C F C F
Hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side, I said hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side.
Allright, ha.

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