Verse 1:
Sneaking Sally through the alley,
Tryin' to keep her outta sight.
Sneaking sally through the alley,
When up popped the wife.
I said; "I can't find nothing wrong,
With being friends, 'cos sometimes;
She lets me use her car."
She said; "If you can't find,
Nothing wrong in your mind, you'd better;
Find something wrong with hers.
Bridge 1:
So I began to try to ex-plain,
That it just wasn't, just wasn't,
Just wasn't what she thought.
Now I'd better find something to do with my time;
Fact is; I've just been caught.

Verse 2:
Sneaking through the alley with Sally;
Tryin' to get away clean.
Sneaking through the alley with Sally;
When up popped the queen.
I talk double talk; anything's trouble talk,
Catching myself in lies.
Mama, just look at me as if I was crazy;
She didn't even bat an eye-lid.
