WALK ON THE WILD SIDE (GEORGIE JOINS THE ARMY)

Holly came from Miami FLA
Hitch-hiked her way across the USA.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her leg 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.

Georgie went to join the Army
To earn some money and keep his family out of harm's way
Now he's in the desert looking out for gas
He never dreamed he'd be kicking no Iraqi ass
Says, 'Hey, 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 given 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 ...

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
MILTÄ MENO MAISTUU

Yrtsi, tuote luonnon vihreän
Yskävaaran takaa tuli hän,
muuttui Stadin tapaiseks,
ajoi kulma- ja säärikarvansa veks.
Noniin, Yrtsi, miltä meno maistuu?
Noniin, Yrtsi, miltä meno nyt maistuu?

Joko osataan:
Ty-ty-dy-ty-dy-ty-dy ...

Kaiken, mitä sai, Kake möi,
toisen kamallakin rahoiks löi.
Kakelta myös lainaa saa,
korko vaan on vähän korkeempaa.
Noniin, Kake, miltä meno maistuu?
Niinpä niin, Kake, miltä meno nyt maistuu?

Disko-Siskon päässä aina soi.
Nyt kai se jo mankankin myydä voi.
Bussin jarru jos vinkaisee,
siin on taas joku jee-jee-jee.
No hei, Sisko, miltä meno maistuu?
Hei, Sisko, miltä meno nyt maistuu?

Ou jee, jee!

Leiska kulkee taas pilvissään,
meni sateenkaaria kiipeemään.
Se ei viihdy enää tässä,
se tähtää korkeelle elämässä.
Noniin, Leiska, miltä meno maistuu?
Niinpä niin, Leiska, miltä meno nyt maistuu?

Kuule hei!
Ty-ty-dy-ty-dy-ty-dy ...
