Sneakin’ Sally Through The Alley

Allen Toussaint

[Chorus]
Sneakin' Sally through the alley
Tryin' to keep her out of sight
Sneakin' Sally through the alley
And up pops my wife

[Verse 1]
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 with your mind
You better find something wrong with her"

[Bridge]
So I began to try to explain
That it wasn't just what she thought
But I'd better find something to do with my time
The fact is I've just been caught

[Refrain]
Sneakin' Sally through the alley

[Verse 2]
Sally was fine, we had a good time
But when it comes to the home front, the home front
You know I've gotta take care of my business there
Yeah, all this running around is alright
Till it goes interfering with my home

[Chorus]
Sneakin' Sally through the alley
Tryin' to get away clean
Sneakin' Sally through the alley
And up pops the queen

[Verse 3]
Tryin' to talk double talk, got myself in trouble talk
Catchin' myself in lies
Mama just looked at me as if I was crazy
And didn't even bat an eye

[Bridge]
So I began to try to explain
That it wasn't just what she thought
So I'd better find something to do with my time
The fact is I just been caught

[Chorus]
Sneakin' Sally through the alley
Sneakin' Sally through the alley

[Outro]
Sally was fine, we had a good time
But when it comes to the home front
You know I've gotta take care of my business there, yeah
All that running around is alright
Till it interferes with my home life
Something's gotta stop, yeah
