Sneakin' sally through the alley

Sneakin' sally through the alley

Sneakin' sally through the alley

Trying to keep her out of sight

Sneakin' sally through the alley

When up pops the wife



I said, ah i can't find nothing wrong with being friends cos sometimes

She lets me use the car

She said if you can't find nothing wrong with your mind

You'd better find something wrong with her, her

So i began to explain ah that it wasn't just ah what she thought

I'd better find something to do with my time

The fact is i've just been caught



Sneakin' sally through the alley

Sneakin' sally through the alley

Trying to get away clean

Sneakin' sally through the alley

When up pops the queen



Trying to double talk, get myself in trouble talk, catching myself in lies







Catching myself in lies

Mama just looked at me as if i was, ah, crazy

And didn't even bat an eye

So i began to try to explain, ah that it just wasn't what she thought

I'd better find something to do with my time

The fact is ah just been caught, just been caught,

Sneakin, sneakin, sneakin,



Trying to talk doubletalk, get myself in trouble talk

Catching myself in lies, catching myself in lies

Mama just looked at me as if i was crazy

She didn't even bat an eye



Sneakin' sally through the alley with sally

Sneakin' sally through the alley with sally

Sneakin sally through the alley

Sneakin sally through the alley

Sneakin sally through the alley
