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 said, 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 backroom she was everybody's darling,

but she never lost her head

even when she was giving head

she sayes, hey baby, take a walk on the wild side

said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
