 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

 Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
 Said hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side
 And the colored girls go
 C                              F6   [L.R. 2X; colored girls 2X]
 Do do-do   do-do do-do-do-do   Do do-do   do-do do-do-do-do
 Dooo...

 Looking for soul food and a place to eat
 Went to the Apollo, you should have seen him go, go go

 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 fast

 Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side

 And the colored girls say
 C                              F6   [L.R. 2X; colored girls 4X]
 Do do-do   do-do do-do-do-do   Do do-do   do-do do-do-do-do
 Dooo...
