Sally in Our Alley (song)

An 1886 illustration of the song.

"Sally in Our Alley" is a traditional English song, originally written by Henry Carey in 1725.[citation needed] It became a standard of British popular music over the following century.[1] The expression also entered popular usage, giving its name to a 1902 Broadway musical and several films including Sally in Our Alley, the 1931 screen debut of Gracie Fields, in which she sang a different song named "Sally".

Lyrics

The song has seven verses, the first of which is:

Of all the girls that are so smart
  There 's none like pretty Sally;
She is the darling of my heart,
  And she lives in our alley.
There is no lady in the land
  Is half so sweet as Sally;
She is the darling of my heart,
  And she lives in our alley.[2]
