Noirsville Tune of the Week

More Lou Reed...
with the film Produced by David Bowie and Mike Ronson


 Take A Walk on the Wild Side

Holly came from Miami F.L.A.
 Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
 Plucked her eyebrows on the way
 Shaved her legs and then he was a she
 She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,
 Said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.

 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 said, hey baby, take a walk on the wild side
 She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
 And the coloured 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 

Little Joe never once gave it away
 Everybody had to pay and pay
 A hustle here and a hustle there
 New York City is the place where they said:
 Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
 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 go go
 They said, hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side
 I said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side

 Jackie is just speeding away
 Thought she was James Dean for a day
 Then I guess she had to crash
 Valium would have helped that dash
 She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
 I said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
 And the coloured girls say 

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
