Sally Can'

Jim, livin' with you'd not such fun
You're not the only one
You don't have the looks
You're not the person that you used to be
And there are people on the street that would go for me

And i said, no, no, no, no, no
Baby face
And i said, no, no, no, no, no
Baby face

I met you in a bar in l.a.
I was not feeling so good
You did the proper moves
You did everything that you should
But now you're making a mistake
And somebody else will take your place
You're taking drugs off of me

And i said, no, no, no, no, no
I said now, no, no, no, no, no
I said now, no, no, no, no, no
Baby face
I said, now, no, no, no, no, no
Baby face

You're not the kind of person
It's easy to live with in a house
I cook all your meals
I make sure that you work out
But lately it's been gettin' so hard
(man, you don't split your stash with your blood)
The way you talk, ooohhh, the way you walk
(you can keep it)
And i'm not sure exactly what it's all about

And i said, no, no, no, no, no
Baby face
I said, now, no, no, no, no, no
Baby face
I said now, no, no, no, no
I said now, no, no, no, no
Ooohhh, baby face, ohh
No, no, baby face
No way, no, baby face
Uh, uh
(you can keep it, just keep it)

Billy was a good friend of mine
We grew up together ever since we were nine
We went to school, he was my best friend
And i thought our friendship would never end

In high school he played football
And me, i didn't do anything at all
He made touch-downs, while i played pool
And no one could figure out which one of us was the fool

Then we both went to collage
He studied medicine while i studied foliage
He got a's and i got d's
He was going for his ph.d.
Then i decided to drop out
Things were getting a little too hot
Billy stayed there, became an intern and then a doctor
Then war broke out and he had to go
But not me, i was mentally unfit, or so they say, so, so

When he came back, he wasn't quite the same
His nerves were shot, but not me
Last time i saw him, i couldn't take it anymore
He wasn't the billy i knew, it was like talking to a door

Billy was a friend of mine
I grew up with him ever since i was nine
We went together through school
And now i often wonder, which one of us was the fool

Miss riley had a dog
She used to keep it in her backyard
And when the dog began to bark
All the neighbors began to shout
Then came a stormy night
Miss riley let her dog out
And when the neighbors found him 'round
They put a gun down his mouth and shot him down
And he went

Ooohhh-wow, bow-wow
Ooohhh-wow, bow-wow

Miss murphy had a cat
On her lap it sat
And once in a great big while
It looked like that cheshire cat did smile
But often it used to chase
Anything that crossed its face
But one day it got so hot
That cheshire cat had a blood clot
And she said

Ooohhh-meow, me-meow
Ooohhh-meow, me-meow

Meow

And then the dog met the cat
The dog was hot and the cat was wet
Then came some sweaty dude
He put a board between the two
Then they couldn't get at it
Got frustrated all about it
So they did the only thing you could do
They took the dude's sweat and shot it up between the two
And they said

Ooohhh-wow, bow-wow
Ooohhh-wow, bow, me, wow

Sally dances on the floor
She says that she can't do it anymore
She walks down st. marks place
And eats natural food at my place

Now sally can't dance no more
She can't get off of the floor
Sally can't dance no more
They found her in the trunk of a ford
Ooohhh, she can't dance no more

Sally is loosing her face
She lives on st. marks place
In a rent-controlled apartment, eighty dollars a month
She has lots of fun, she has lots of fun, but

Sally can't dance no more, ooohhh
Sally can't dance no more
She took too much meth and can't get off the floor
Now sally, she can't dance no more

She was the first girl in the neighborhood
To wear tied-dyed pants, ah, like she should
She was the first girl that i ever seen
That had flowers painted on her jeans
She was the first girl in her neighborhood
Who got raped on tompkins square, real good
Now she wears a sword, like napoleon
And she kills the boys and acts like a son

Sally can't dance no more, ooohhh, now
Sally can't dance no more
She can't get herself off the floor, ah, huh
Sally, ooohhh, she can't dance no more

Watch this, now

Sally became a big model
She moved up to eighties and park
She had a studio apartment
And that's where she used to ball, folk singers
And that's where she used to ball, folk singers, but

Sally, she can't dance no more
Sally, she can't dance no more
Sally can't get herself off of the floor
Now, sally, she can't dance no more
(sally can't dance)
(sally can't dance)

She knew all the really right people
She went to le jardin
She danced with picasso's illegitimate mistress
And wore kenneth lane jewels, really it's trash, but

Sally can't dance no more, ooohhh
Sally can't dance no more
She can't get herself off of the floor
Now, sally, ooohhh, she can't dance no more, no more
Dance, no more can't ...
(sally can't dance, sally can't dance)
(sally can't dance, sally can't dance)
(sally can't dance, sally can't dance)
(sally can't dance, sally can't dance)
... repeat and fade out
