[Verse 1]
H[D]olly came from Miami, F. L. [G6]A.
H[D]itch-hiked her way across the U. S. [G6]A.
P[D]lucked her eyebrows [Em]on the way,
S[G]haved her legs, and then [Em]he was a she!
[Cborus]
She says, 'H[D]ey, babe,
Take a walk on the w[G6]ild side,
Said, 'H[D]ey, honey, take a walk on the w[G6]ild side!'

Ca[D]ndy came ...from out on the I[G6]sland,
[D]In the backroom she was everybody's da[G6]rling,
B[D]ut she never [Em]lost her head,
E[G]ven when she was gi[Em]ving head!
[Cborus]
She says, 'H[D]ey, babe,
Take a walk on the w[G6]ild side,
Said, '[D]Hey, babe, take a walk on the w[G6]ild side!'
[Verse 3]

Li[D]ttle Joe never once gave it a - [G6]way,

Lo[D]oking for soul food, and a place to [G6]eat,
