Sneaking Sally Through The Alley
Ringo Starr · Ringo the 4th [1977]
Sneaking Sally through the alley
Sneaking Sally through the alley
Sneaking Sally through the alley
Tryin' to keep her from sight
Sneaking Sally through the alley
My baby caught me last night
I said, "I can't find nothing wrong with being friends"
'Cause sometimes she lets me use her car
She said, "If you can't find nothing wrong in your mind
I know you've gone too far"
Sneaking Sally through the alley
Tryin' to get away clean
(Tryin' to get away)
Sneaking Sally through the alley
My baby saw the whole scene
So I began to try and explain
But it just wasn't, wasn't much of a thought
Now I should find me somebody new
(Somebody new)
'Cause this man has been caught
She caught me sneaking with Sally through the alley
(Sneaking with Sally)
Tryin' to get away clean
Sneaking with Sally through the alley
(Sneaking with Sally)
I know you know what I mean
(What I mean, what I mean)
Tryin' to get away
Tryin' to get away
Tryin' to get away
Sneaking Sally through the alley
Sneaking Sally through the alley
I talk double talk
Anything's trouble talk
Catching myself in lies
Mama, just look at me
Thinking about killing me
I saw it in her eyes
Oh, oh, oh
She caught me sneaking with sally through the alley
Tryin' to keep her from sight
I was sneaking with Sally through that alley
(Sneaking with Sally)
My baby caught me last night
Well, I was sneaking sally through the alley
Tryin' to get away clean
You know, sneaking with Sally without knowing
(Sneaking with Sally)
My baby saw the whole scene
Oh, oh, oh
Sneaking with Sally
