D                         Em               G
Stepping out to Angelucci's for my coffee beans
D                      Em        G
Checking out the movies and the magazines
D                        Em                        G
Waitress she watches me crossing from the Barocco Bar
D             Em        G
I get a pickup for my steel guitar
        D                Em            G

Excuse me for talking I wanna marry you
This is the seventh heaven street to me
Don't you seem so proud
You're just another angel
In the crowd and I'm.

Chorus:

And I'm walking in the wild west end

Walking in the wild west end

Walking with your wild best friend

Now my conductress on the number nineteen
She was a honey (she was a honey)
Pink toenails and hands all dirty with the money
Greasy, greasy, greasy hair, easy smile
She made me feel nineteen for a while

I went down to Chinatown
In the backroom it's a man's world
All the money go down
Duck inside the doorway, duck to eat
Just ain't no way
You and me, we can't beat

Chorus:
Walking in the wild west end
Walking in the wild west end
Walking with your wild best friend

Darling a gogo dancing girl
Yes I saw her
The DJ he say here's Mandy for ya
I feel alright, saying now, do that stuff
She's dancing high I move on by
The close ups can get rough

Chorus:
When you're walking in the wild west end
Walking, walking, walking in the wild west end
Walking, walking with your wild best friend
Walking, walking in the..
