Sally in Our Alley (song)

"Sally in Our Alley" is a traditional English song, originally written by Henry Carey in 1725. It became a standard of British popular music over the following century. The expression also entered popular usage, giving its name to a 1902 Broadway musical and several films including Sally in Our Alley, the 1931 screen debut of Gracie Fields.

Lyrics
The song has seven verses, the first of which is: Of all the girls that are so smart There 's none like pretty Sally; She is the darling of my heart, And she lives in our alley. There is no lady in the land Is half so sweet as Sally; She is the darling of my heart, And she lives in our alley.''
