Sally You opened out your arms
  To all those young men
  And girl you had room
  For every one of them
  You're the only girl
  on bowery and third
  Sure as hell you're the one
  who cared
    So put your hands together for sally
  She saved all those young men
  Put your hands together for sally
  She's the one who cared for them
    She's doing our dirty work
  She's the only one who cares
  Doing our dirty work

    Take a look at dave he was once seventeen
  Zoot suit and shinny shoes
  He ran around town
  and through his methylated laughter
  Most of his memories drowned
  But he remembers what his mommy use to shout
  She used to shout
  One day surely son
  The streets are gonna tire you out
    So put your hands together for sally
  She's the one who cared for him
  Put your hands together for sally
  She was there when his luck was running thin
      She's doing our dirty work
  She's the only one who cares
  Doing our dirty work
  Thirsty world, one angry day, in new york
    Tommy had a wife and family
  But the needle came between the love and the hard times
  Thank God for sally
  She was there through the misery
  Just a place to lay his head
  Just about better off than dead
    She's doing our dirty work
  She's the only one who cares
  Doing our dirty work
  Thirsty world, one angry dame
    Vince came up from the country
  Couldn't even find himself a room
  Thinking about his babies
  That's further away than the moon
    With no money but his pride in his pocket
  There's really no way he can go home
  There's a picture of his woman in his locket
  Most of all he doesn't want to be alone
    So put your hands together for sally
  She's the one who cared for him
  Put your hands together for sally
  She was there when his luck was running thin
    She's doing our dirty work
  She's the only one who cares
  Doing our dirty work
  Thirsty world, one angry day, in new york
