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  Thirsty world one angry day, in new york     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
