Walk On the Wild Side - Live at Alice Tully Hall January 27, 1973 - 2nd Show

Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitchhiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows along the way
Shaved her legs, and then he was a she
They said, "Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side"
I said, "Hey, Holly, 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 giving head
She said, "Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side"
I says, "Hey, Candy, take a walk on the wild side"
And the colored girls go

"Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-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's the place
Where they said, "Hey, Joe, take a walk on the wild side"
I says, "Hey, Ben, take a walk on the wild side"

Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Looking for soul food and for 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, Sugar, take a walk on the wild side"
Alright
Huh!

Jackie, she's just speedin' away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then you know that she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash
She said, "Hey, Jackie, take a walk on the wild side"
I said, "Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side"
And the colored girls go

"Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo"

Ooh!
