Lou Reed – Walk On The Wild Side Chords

Holly came from Miami, F L A
Hitch-hiked her way across the U S A
Plucked her eyebrows on the way, shaved her legs and then
he was a she
She says hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
Hey honey, take a walk on the wild side

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
I said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side, and the colored girls go

doo, do doo, do doo, do do doo doo, do doo, do doo, do do doo
doo, do doo, do doo, do do doo doo, do doo, do doo, do do doo
doooo

Little Joe never once gave it away, everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle 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
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 bash
She 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 doo, do doo, do doo, do do doo
doo, do doo, do doo, do do doo doo, do doo, do doo, do do doo
doooo
