Lou Reed
Am, C, Dm, F
Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitchhike away across the U.S.A.
Pluck her eyebrows on the way.
Shave her legs, then he was a she.
She said, "Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side."
I said, "Hey, honey, take a walk on the wild side."
Candy came from out on the island.
In the back room, she was everybody's darlin'
But she never lost her head
Even when she was givin' head
She says, "Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side"
I said, "Hey, baby, take a walk on the wild side"
And the colored girls go
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 say, "Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side."
I said, "Hey, Joe, take a walk on the wild side."
