Lyrics
Bully in the Alley
Chorus:
Help me Bob I'm bully in the alley,
Way hey, bully in the alley.
Help me Bob I'm bully in the alley,
Bully down in Shinbone al'
Chorus
Sally is the gal that I love dearly,
Way hey, bully in the alley.
She's the one that I spliced nearly,
Bully down in Shinbone al'
Chorus
I bought her silks and bought her laces.
Way hey, bully in the alley.
I took her out to all the fine places,
Bully down in Shinbone al'
Chorus
For seven long years, I courted Sally,
Way hey, bully in the alley.
But all she would do is dilly dally
Bully down in Shinbone al'
Chorus
And so me boys I got the notion,
Way hey, bully in the alley.
To sail out on the story ocean,
Bully down in Shinbone al'
Chorus
I left me gal to go a sailin
Way hey, bully in the alley.
I left me gal to go a whalin
Bully down in Shinbone al'
Chorus
