Whoa! Sally used to carry my books to school
Sally was a good old girl
Ah, she helped me with my homework 'cause I was a fool
Sally was a good old girl.
If you wanted a kiss or a little bit of sweetness
She was always willing to do her best to please
She girls made for love are not made to tease
Sally was a good old girl.
Whoa, whoa …
Sally was a good old girl … yeah, yeah, yeah …
Sally was a good old girl … yeah, yeah, yeah …
No matter what the request
She gave you her best
Sally was a good old girl.
Now, her folks were poor and she helped all she could
Sally was a good old girl
She was the hardest workin' girl in the neighborhood
Sally was a good old girl.
Yeah! She walked up and down the streets all day
A-sellin' neckties to the ones who'd pay
If ya didn't have the money she would give 'em away
A-Sally was a good old girl.
Whoa, whoa …
Sally was a good old girl … yeah, yeah, yeah …
Sally was a good old girl … yeah, yeah, yeah …
No matter what the request
She gave you her best
Sally was a good old girl.
Whoa! She was the favorite with all the men
Sally was a good old girl
Yeah, and all the other girls despised her then
Sally was good old girl.
Do you believe me that …
A-Sally never minded, she couldn't care
She kept on a-workin' an' a-doin' her share
She wound up a-married to a millionaire
Sally was a good old girl.
ow talk to me!
Sally was a good old girl
Sally was a good old girl
No matter what the request
She gave you her best
Sally was a good old girl.
Yeeee-a-up!
Oh … good old girl
No matter what the request
She gave you her best
Sally was a good old girl!
