Lyrics
Sally
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Isn't it good to know
You only get one go.
Give me a key and let me see.
Try and act normally!
Seems it's an ancient art
To be the one who starts it rolling.
Wouldn't you like to know the way?
Hear what the wise man say.
Sally, I'm just a gorilla.
I'll say I'll love you ever more.
Even an ape from Manila
Couldn't stop me knocking on your door!
One and a-one make two.
Only you must come through.
If there's a way, then let me say:
I'd rather stay with you.
Seems it's an ancient art
To be the one who starts it rolling.
Wouldn't you like to know the way?
Hear what the wise man say.
