Candy came from out on the island
In the backroom she was everybody's darlin'
But she never lost her head
Even when she was givin' head

  She says hey babe, take a walk on the wild side

  And the colored girls go

Little Joe never once gave it away                    (cordes embarquent)
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there

  I said hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side

Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should have seen him go gogo

Jackie is just speedin' away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that fast

  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

  Do do-do...  x 2  puis  (Do do-do...)  x 4
