In the backroom she was everybody's darlin'
C               D

A hustle here and a hustle there
F                     D
New York City's the place where

Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat
C               D
Went to the Apollo
F                     D
You should've seen em go go go

Valium would have helped that bash

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