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 says, "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 back room 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." And the colored girls go "Doo do doo do doo do do doo..." Little Joe never once gave it away Everybody had to pay and pay A hustle here and a hustle there New York City's 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 Looking for soul food and a place to eat Went to the Apollo You should've seen them 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 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 bash 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, "Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."

On la trouvait plutôt jolie, Lily Elle arrivait des Somalies Lily Dans un bateau plein d´émigrés Qui venaient tous de leur plein gré Vider les poubelles à Paris Elle croyait qu´on était égaux Lily Au pays de Voltaire et d´Hugo Lily Mais pour Debussy en revanche Il faut deux noires pour une blanche Ça fait un sacré distinguo Elle aimait tant la liberté Lily Elle rêvait de fraternité Lily Un hôtelier rue Secrétan Lui a précisé en arrivant Qu´on ne recevait que des Blancs Elle a déchargé des cageots Lily Elle s´est tapé les sales boulots Lily Elle crie pour vendre des choux-fleurs Dans la rue ses frères de couleur L´accompagnent au marteau-piqueur Et quand on l´appelait Blanche-Neige Lily Elle se laissait plus prendre au piège Lily Elle trouvait ça très amusant Même s´il fallait serrer les dents Ils auraient été trop contents Elle aima un beau blond frisé Lily Qui était tout prêt à l´épouser Lily Mais la belle-famille lui dit nous Ne sommes pas racistes pour deux sous Mais on veut pas de ça chez nous Elle a essayé l´Amérique Lily Ce grand pays démocratique Lily Elle aurait pas cru sans le voir Que la couleur du désespoir Là-bas aussi ce fût le noir Mais dans un meeting à Memphis Lily Elle a vu Angela Davis Lily Qui lui dit viens ma petite sœur En s´unissant on a moins peur Des loups qui guettent le trappeur Et c´est pour conjurer sa peur Lily Qu´elle lève aussi un poing rageur Lily Au milieu de tous ces gugus Qui foutent le feu aux autobus Interdits aux gens de couleur Mais dans ton combat quotidien Lily Tu connaîtras un type bien Lily Et l´enfant qui naîtra un jour Aura la couleur de l´amour Contre laquelle on ne peut rien On la trouvait plutôt jolie, Lily Elle arrivait des Somalies Lily Dans un bateau plein d´émigrés Qui venaient tous de leur plein gré Vider les poubelles à Paris.
