Rally With Sally

(album: Footsoldier In The Moonlight - 1993)

Second by second in the alleyway
Sally swept all my walls away
The sun caught her eyes in a blinding haze
I'd steal a kiss from Sally I prayed

I wanna rally with Sally
Yes I do
And boogie with Sue
Yes I do
I wanna rally with Sally
Yes I do
Like the big boys do
In the alley by the old school
Rally with Sally
Boogie with Sue
Don't tell your Daddy
I'm depending on you

Her brother smiled wide when he fingered me
Her brother's lips grinned right off his teeth
Her brother's eyes paused to measure me
He said "You're holding my sister, but you're gonna dance with me"

I wanna rally with Sally
Yes I do
And boogie with Sue
Yes I do
I wanna rally with Sally
Yes I do
Like the big boys do
In the alley by the old school
Rally with Sally
Boogie with Sue
Don't tell your Daddy
I'm depending on you

Sally turned her back and walked away
I knew something would happen
On so fine a day
I had her in the alley
And she wanted to stay
But her brother made me dally
Now she's gone away

I wanna rally with Sally
Yes I do
And boogie with Sue
Yes I do
I wanna rally with Sally
Yes I do
Like the big boys do
In the alley by the old school
Rally with Sally
Boogie with Sue
Don't tell your Daddy
I'm depending on you
