Swamp Sally - The Magnetics

Swamp Sally

The Magnetics

(J. Poskin, Rollin' Rock, 1980)

Well, I got a gal and she's so fine
Well, she said she's a bird, but she's all feline
Well, I met her in the swamp about a week ago
And she said her name was Sally
What else you wanna know?
Swamp Sally is her name
And lovin' is her game, she's all right
Aha, aha
Well I said to crazy Sally
Bet you can get those flying feet hi-high
She said I dance to this song with the alligator beat
You know my daddy was a rock and my mama was a roll
When you put them both together you get nothing but soul
Swamp Sally is her name
And lovin' is her game, she's all right
Aha, aha
Well, I know a little gal and they call her Swamp Sally
If you ask her why, you get two black eyes
She can be so kind and love you all the time
But if you cross her once, man she'll give you the crutch

She took me to the bayou, way down, black and deep
We got married in a cave where the voodoos sleep
My best man was a yak from Afghanistan
And my mate of honour was a pink toucan
Swamp Sally is her name
And lovin' is her game, she's all right
Aha, aha
Now I live in the swamp where the voodoo lives
And I take my love and Swamp Sally gives
You know she shows me how to rock
And she shows me how to roll
And she shows me how to love with a rock 'n' roll soul
Swamp Sally is her name
And lovin' is her game, she's all right
Aha, aha
Swamp Sally is her name
And lovin' is her game, she's all right
Aha, aha
Oh yeah..
