Lyrics
Sally puts the kettle on and pours the water in,
And Johnny kisses her goodbye, another day begins,
Sally eats her breakfast, eyes fixated on the tube,
As she absorbs todays nutrition and her latest fill of news.
Sally showers, puts her suit on, does her makeup, combs her hair,
And struts her stuff before the mirror like an audience was there.
Took her jacket from the coatstand and her car keys from the drawer,
And kissed the cat goodbye as she went off to work once more.
She's a hard working, tough thinking working class girl,
And she's making all she can out of her working class world.
She's 10 thru 6 monday to friday, selling fashion way down town,
Till she can finally let loose again, when the weekend comes around.
Sally, in her faded jeans, and blue and yellow boots,
Paints her nails ruby red and heads down to "Cahoot's".
The sawdust floor, and smokey air, the light set way down low,
The local country bands perform as Sally does her show... cause she's
Fav'rite late night dancer, she can really shake her stuff,
And if you got the right size bills, my friend, you'll never get enough,
And as she takes things up a level and her shirt falls to the floor,'
She'll make you think she's up there just for you, and make you beg for more.
She's a hard working, tough talking working class girl,
And she's making all she can out of this working class world.
She's 10 thru 6 monday thru friday, selling fashion way down town,
Till she can finally let loose again as the weekend comes around.
But at 3:30 in the morning Johnny's waiting there outside,
And she tells her 'bout her evening as they go about their ride,
And if the fancy catches Sally, as it almost always does,
She might just tell him, take a short cut, and pull over in the woods.
In the halo of the headlights, Sally turns it on again,
As Johnny sits their on the hood, his lady dances in the rain,
She comes to him, by now half naked, and she hugs him real tight,
And they make love right there and then before they drive into the night.
