Bully In The Alley


Chorus:
Well it's help me pump
Bully in the alley.
Way, hey, bully in the alley.
Help me pump, there's a bully in the alley.
Bully down in shinbone alley.

Well Sally is the girl that I loved dearly,
Way, hey, bully in the alley,
Sally is the girl that I spliced nearly,
Bully down in shinbone alley.

Chorus

For seven long years I courted Sally,
Way, hey, bully in the alley,
But all she did was dilly-dally.
Bully down in shinbone alley.

Chorus

I called Sal my queen of faces,
Way, hey, bully in the alley,
Bought her coral beads and laces.
Bully down in shinbone alley.

Chorus

Sally dear what is the matter,
Way, hey, bully in the alley,
Pretty gal but you can't get at her.
Bully down in shinbone alley.

Chorus

Sally dear I took a notion,
Way, hey, bully in the alley,
To sail across this damn wide ocean.
Bully down in shinbone alley.

Chorus

So I'll leave Sal and I'll be a sailor,
Way, hey, bully in the alley,
I'll leave Sal, ship aboard a whaler.
Bully down in shinbone alley.

Chorus
