 <br/>
 Verse 2:<br/>
 <br/>
 Candy came from out on the island<br/>
 In the backroom she was everybody's darling<br/>
 But she never lost her head<br/>
 Even when she was giving head<br/>
 She says<br/>
 <br/>
 Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side<br/>
 Said hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side<br/>
 And the colored girls go<br/>

 Dooo...<br/>

 <br/>
 Little Joe never once gave it away<br/>
 Everybody had to pay and pay<br/>

 Said hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side<br/>
 <br/>

 <br/>
 Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets<br/>
 Looking for soul food and a place to eat<br/>

 They said<br/>
 <br/>
 Hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side<br/>

 All right... huh<br/>
