Sally |
29 in Highgate, P.R. Queen |
So socially unattainable |
Down the line in Balham Johnny’s keen |
Pursuing the unobtainable |
I said «Hey, you, up in the clouds |
She’s spinning you like a circus wheel.» |
By moonlight, scheming all his moves |
Detectives at her heels |
Sally, what’s your game? |
What are you trying to do? |
Sally, I’m miles away |
I can’t take my eyes off you. |
Tea with Princes, dinner with the stars |
She’s cool amongst High Society |
Johnny takes her to a wimpy bar |
And acts with perfect sobriety |
I said «Hey, you, up in the clouds |
She’s spinning you like a circus wheel.» |
Call the Airforce, call the C.I.A. |
She won’t escape this time |
Sally, what’s your game? |
What are you trying to do? |
Sally, I’m miles away |
I can’t take my eyes off you. |
Taking off for ten weeks on the Nile |
The Nights will be rich with mystery |
Johnny’s swimming with the crocodiles |
But he’s gonna teach her some history |
I said «Hey, you, up in the clouds |
She’s spinning you like a circus wheel.» |
He’s in the gym, he’s on the driving range |
It’s make or break this time. |
Sally, what’s your game? |
What are you trying to do? |
Sally, I’m miles away |
I can’t take my eyes off you. |
