Sally You opened out your arms
|
To all those young men
|
And girl you had room
|
For every one of them
|
You're the only girl
|
on bowery and third
|
Sure as hell you're the one
|
who cared
|
|
So put your hands together for sally
|
She saved all those young men
|
Put your hands together for sally
|
She's the one who cared for them
|
|
She's doing our dirty work
|
She's the only one who cares
|
Doing our dirty work
|
Thirsty world one angry day, in new york
|
|
Take a look at dave he was once seventeen
|
Zoot suit and shinny shoes
|
He ran around town
|
and through his methylated laughter
|
Most of his memories drowned
|
But he remembers what his mommy use to shout
|
She used to shout
|
One day surely son
|
The streets are gonna tire you out
|
|
So put your hands together for sally
|
She's the one who cared for him
|
Put your hands together for sally
|
She was there when his luck was running thin
|
|
|
She's doing our dirty work
|
She's the only one who cares
|
Doing our dirty work
|
Thirsty world, one angry day, in new york
|
|
Tommy had a wife and family
|
But the needle came between the love and the hard times
|
Thank God for sally
|
She was there through the misery
|
Just a place to lay his head
|
Just about better off than dead
|
|
She's doing our dirty work
|
She's the only one who cares
|
Doing our dirty work
|
Thirsty world, one angry dame
|
|
Vince came up from the country
|
Couldn't even find himself a room
|
Thinking about his babies
|
That's further away than the moon
|
|
With no money but his pride in his pocket
|
There's really no way he can go home
|
There's a picture of his woman in his locket
|
Most of all he doesn't want to be alone
|
|
So put your hands together for sally
|
She's the one who cared for him
|
Put your hands together for sally
|
She was there when his luck was running thin
|
|
She's doing our dirty work
|
She's the only one who cares
|
Doing our dirty work
|
Thirsty world, one angry day, in new york
