SALLY-SOME MAID.
Sally Il q maiden
With wonderful eyes Of blue,
But scarcely another maiden
Can do what Sally can do.
Sally can flirt and Sally can dance,
That doesn't sound like much.
But she can put . fellow in O trance
And send him home on u crutch.
Sally has a baby stare
And o beautiful drug store blush,
shell dare what no one else will dare
when she gets desperate crush.
Sally can enjoy an amusement park
TIL her escort wears out his pants.
shes great for epOOnlnE i'm the dark
And willing to take o chance.
Sally often takes a drink,
And she smokes cigarettes.
She also has been known to think
When making and winning bets.
Sally uses good perfume,
Ana sally can drive a car.
The latter will be her doom,
For she travels fast and far.
But can Sally wash the dishes,
Or sweep, OF cook, or sew:
Oh, these aren't SalIy'N wishes,
So I'm forced to answer "No."
Sally, you are surely some girl,
With your wicked eyes Of blue,
But when want to pick q wife
I'm sure l won't pick you.
