Sneaking sally through the alley,
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Sneaking sally through the alley,
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Verse 1:
Sneaking sally through the alley,
Tryin' to keep her outta sight.
Sneaking sally through the alley,
When up popped the wife.
I said, "I can't find nothing wrong,
With being friends 'cos sometimes;
She lets me use her car."
She said; "If you can't find,
Nothing wrong in your mind,
You'd better;
Find something wrong with hers.
Bridge 1:
So I began to try to ex-plain,
That it just wasn't, just wasn't,
Just wasn't what she thought.
Now I'd better find something,
To do with my time;
Fact is;
I've just been caught.
Chorus 2:
Sneaking sally through the alley,
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Sneaking sally through the alley,
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Solo:
A7, D7 C7 A7 (x8)
Verse 2:
Sneaking through the alley with Sally;
Tryin' to get away clean.
Sneaking through the alley with Sally;
When up popped the queen.
I talk double talk,
Anything's trouble talk,
Catching myself in lies.
Mama, just look at me as if I was crazy;
She didn't even bat an eye-lid.

Coda:
Sneaking sally through the alley,
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Sneaking sally through the alley,
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
