When I first came to the city
I had a twenty dollar bill in my jeans
And I thought that I must be in heaven
Cos' I found the little girl of my dreams
I was just new in the city now
And she was so young and pretty now
She showed me a brand new world
Oh Sally!
Sally was a good time girl
Well I showed her all of my money
And she showed me a real good time
I mean I took her out
She took me in
Oh Sally was a friend of mine
I was just new in the city now
And she was so young and pretty now
She showed me a brand new world
Oh Sally!
Sally was a good time girl
Hey yeah! Alright!
Well it turrns out Sally had a room mate
And Sally's room mate had a gun
Well he look like he might've played foot
Hey, sure glad he couldn't run
Last time I saw Sally,
Well it wasn't any time for goodbyes
But I know that I'll always remember
Oh Sally was a friend of mine
I was just new in the city now
And she was so young and pretty now
She showed me a brand new world
Oh Sally!
Sally was a good time...
Sally
Hey sally!
Oh Sally was a good time girl (Sally was a good time)
Sally, hey now! (Sally)
I'll always remember (Sally)
Sally was a good time
Sally! Talkin' 'bout Sally
Yeah!
Sally was a good time
Sally was a good time
Sally was a good time girl.
