Walk on the Wild Side - Jimmy Smith

Holly came from Miami F.L.A

Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A

Plucked her eyebrows on the way

Shaved her leg and then he was a she

She says, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side

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 darling

But she never lost her head

Even when she was given head

She says, ‽Hey babe, take a walk on the wild sideâ€

Said, ‽Hey babe, take a walk on the wild sideâ€

And the colored girls go

Doo, doo, doo

Doo, doo, doo

Doo, doo, doo

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 said, ‽Hey babe, take a walk on the wild sideâ€

I Said, ‽Hey Joe, take a walk on the wild sideâ€

Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets

Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat

Went to the Apollo

You should have seen him go go go

They said, ‽Hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild sideâ€

I said, ‽Hey babe, take a walk on the wild sideâ€

All right, huh

Jackie is just speedin' 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 sideâ€

I said, ‽Hey honey, take a walk on the wild sideâ€

And the colored girls say

Doo, doo, doo

Doo, doo, doo

Doo, doo, doo
