Sally

I was blue and lonely, I couldn´t sleep a wink
And I could only get unconscious if I´d had to much to drink.
There was somehow, something wrong somewhere, and each day seemed grey and dead
The seeds of desperation were growing in my head.
I needed inspiration, a brand new start in life,
Somewhere to place affection, but I didn´t want a wife.
And then by lucky chance I saw [in] a special magazine
An ad. that was unusual, the like I´d never seen,
"Experience something different with our new imported toy,
She´s loving, warm, inflatible and a guarantee of joy."
She came all wrapped in cardboard, all pink and shrivelled down
A breath of air was all she needed to make her lose that frown.
I took her to the bedroom and pumped her with some life,
And later in a moment that girl became my wife.
And so I sit her in the corner and sometimes stroke her hair
And when I´m feeling naughty I blow her up with air
She´s cuddly and she´s bouncy, she´s like a rubber ball,
I bounce her in the kitchen and I bounce her in the hall.
[And now my life is different since Sally came my way]
I wake up [in the] morning and have her on a tray
She´s everything they say she was and I wear a permanent grin,
And I only have to worry in case my girl wears pins.
And I could only get unconscious if I´d had to much to drink.
There was somehow, something wrong somewhere, and each day seemed grey and dead
The seeds of desperation were growing in my head.
I needed inspiration, a brand new start in life,
Somewhere to place affection, but I didn´t want a wife.
And then by lucky chance I saw [in] a special magazine
