	In the backroom she was everybody's darling

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

Verse 4:

	Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
	Looking 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 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
	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
	C                              F6   [L.R. 2X; colored girls 4X]

	Dooo...
