Verse 2:

	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 says

	Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
	Said hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side

	Dooo...

Verse 3:

	Little Joe never once gave it away

	They said

	Hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side
	I said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
	All right... huh

Verse 5:

	Jackie is just speeding away
	Thought she was James Dean for a day

	She said

	Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
	I said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
	And the colored girls say
