Lyrics Vanessa Paradis – Walk On The Wild Side

Holly came from Miami, FLA
Hitch-hiked her way across the USA
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she

Candy came from out on the Island
In the backroom she was everybody’s darlin’
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She says: Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side
Said: Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls go: Doo do doo do doo do do doo

Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hussle here and a hussle there
New York City’s the place where they said: Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side
I said: Hey, Joe
Take a walk on the wild side

Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin’ for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should’ve seen ’em go go go
They said: Hey, sugar
Take a walk on the wild side

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
Said: Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side
I said: Hey, honey
Take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls say: Doo do doo do doo do do doo
