everybody had to pay and pay, 
A hustle here and a hustle there,
New York city is 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
4. Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets, 
lookin' for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo

They said, hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
all right, hun

5. 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

Ref:Doo, doo…
