Lyrics
Sweet Sweet Sally she was sneakin' down the alley
She was a long legged queen
A hurly gurly woman with all of the charms
That turn a man into a child
She had long brown hair and deep dark eyes
Oh you know the girl was lean
She's get down and dirty
Oh Lordy, she's the girl in every man's dreams
Sweet Sweet Sally Sneakin' down the alley
Oh I know you know you're the girl of my dreams
(backgrounds) Sweet Sally Sweet Sweet Sally
I know you know what I mean
Well she walked into a bar one day
That's where Harry Mango happened to Play
Now he's a good guy with a sharp eye
That croons the ladies all night and all day
Lay down sally was his favorite song and played it most of the time
Sally caught the show and the next thing you know
She lost her heart to Sweet Harry Mango
She screamed one more song
Cause I can't wait long
You know I have to go Tango
Somewhere in the night
(solo) let it ride gentlement
Cockerroach and the GL Boys thier no good I'll tell you
You see now they are the baddest boys in this part of town
One night the decided they were going to fix Mr. Mango
They stole sweet sally and they broke the old Mango's heart
But Mango he came on strong
he said it wouldn't take long
Grabbed the GL Boys and took em both out
Grabbed his girl and off he rode into the sunset
Don't you feel no regrets
(Spoken)
I always said the women are smarter . This song sure let's you know why; check it out.
