Sally may

Insufficient funds

In my bank account

I just wanna run

I just wanna shout

Sucking the life right

Outta me!

All ‘cause of this little girl named

Sally May!

Well I’ll take both your pigtails

And pull!

You lick your lolli, make me 

Sell my soul!

I can’t waste away

Takin’ orders every day

Got my calamine lotion

Do it again Sally May!

I’ll take it all

Just to end your reign

Better check your inbox!

Got a bill due for pain!

Well I’ll take both your pigtails

And pull!

You lick your lolli, make me 

Sell my soul!

(spoken)

Well, I bought a new pack of cigarettes, 

Even though I get addicted to everything,

But they say grief is held in the lungs,

And God knows that I can’t breathe,

Strap your shoes, catch the bus,

Oh, little girl, you've gotta run!

Activate that second speed!

Clock into work, get your tasks done!

I tell Sally to get off her mustang, 

She ain’t goin’ anywhere,

But I'm on my 50th hour, 

And I wonder if there’s much to compare?

‘Cause really being rich is all about having time,

And if that’s the case, then me & Sally both have a dime. 

Me and you!

We both have a dime!

Leave me alone!

My soul is mine!

Really being rich is all about having time,

And if that’s the case, then me & Sally both have a dime. 

Well I’ll take both your pigtails!

You lick your lolli, make me 

Sell my soul!
