There was a girl called Wanda A curvy blue eyed blonde who was fond of a very good time She'd got real frisky and was drinking whisky by the age of nine Her father said 'depart this house, go fend on your own Get out of my hair girl and don't you dare come home' So Wanda went wandering down the avenue Boys shouting 'hey girl' girls shouting 'shoo' Wearing her skirt as short as the law would allow I wonder where Wanda's wandering now She was quite the looker so she turned hooker down the docks on the lower eastside She had terrible quarrels and lowered her morals as low as the equinox tide She wed a one legged sailor and they lived on the skids He drank all wages and went into rages and beat up the kids So Wanda went wandering down the avenue Boys shouting 'hey girl' girls shouting 'shoo' Wearing her skirt as short as the law would allow I wonder where Wanda's wandering now Then she moved to New Jersey joined 'The Sisters of Mercy' and repented the wages of sin She gave diphtheria to the mother superior when they shared a bottle of gin They threw her out one cold winter night in the snow and the sleet But it wouldn't be long before our Wanda was back on her feet So Wanda went wandering down the avenue Boys shouting 'hey girl' girls shouting 'shoo' Wearing her skirt as short as the law would allow I wonder where Wanda's wandering now She got married, by a vicar, to a baron with a dodgy ticker he was only ninety three He left her several million and she moved into the Crillon Hotel, there in Gay Paree She took a Martiniquean lover by the name of Jean-André And on a cloud of coke and champagne they danced the years away Wanda popped her clogs one night at the age of a hundred and twelve The concierge turned a blind eye for it's not polite to delve You see they found her hanging by her ankles from a crystal chandelier Wearing nothing but a bustier and a grin from ear to ear The moral of this story find your bliss at any cost All those who are lost may wander, but not all those who wander are lost Wanda went wandering down the avenue Boys shouting' hey girl' girls shouting 'shoo' Wearing her skirt as short as the law would allow I wander where Wanda's wandering now (repeat twice more) I wonder where Wanda's wondering Is she still wild blue yondering Wonder where Wanda's wondering now
