Sneakin' Sally through the alley
Trying to keep her out of sight
Sneakin' Sally through the alley
When up pops the wife
I said, "I can't find nothing wrong with being friends
'Coz sometimes she lets me use the car"
She said,"If you can't find nothing wrong with your mind
You better, you better find something wrong with her, her"
So I began to try to explain
That it just wasn't, just wasn't 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
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, catch myself in lies
Mama just looked at me as if I was crazy
She didn't even bat an eye
So I began to try to explain
That it just wasn't, just wasn't what she thought
I'd better find something to do with my time
The fact is just been caught, just been caught
Sneakin', sneakin', sneakin'
Sneakin' Sally through the alley
Sneakin' Sally through the alley
I'm trying to get away clean
Sneakin' through the alley with Sally
When up pops the queen
Sneakin' through the alley with Sally
Sneakin' Sally through the alley
