I once knew a gal named Sally McGrew [Francine]
Her hair it was dark and her eyes were of blue [Beefy]
I caught me a glimpse of her white pantaloons [Evan]
And tried to seduce her with talk of doubloons [Beefy]
But she tossed back her hair and said, "Ha!"
 
[Francine]
 
"I know just what kind of rapscallion you are!" [Beefy]
She said, as I bundled her into my car [Francine]
"You're a sweet-talking, skirt-chasing loser,' she sighed. [Will_H]
(Such talk made me hope for a spell she would bide!) [Francine]
We drove for a while with my hand on her knee
 
[Beefy]
 
Seems Sally had schemes much grander than mine [Evan]
And while I was driving, she fed me a line [Beefy]
"You know, Bill, you're cute in an odd sort of way" [Evan]
If this was a come-on I just couldn't say [Beefy]
So blissfully on through the desert I sped [Evan]
 
At length we arrived at my tumbledown shack
 
[Beefy]
But the look on her face made me almost turn back. [Will_H]
It put me in mind of a girl I once dated [Beefy]
Strong-willed, but luscious and uncomplicated. [Will_H]
I gathered my courage, invited her in
 
[Beefy]
 
I awkwardly opened a coupla brews [Evan]
And tried to make small talk (I never learned 'schmooze), [Will_H]
I ventured the weather was rather too hot [Beefy]
And rain would be welcome. I asked what she thought [Anon]
But she said, "Did we come out here just to chat?"
 
[Beefy]
 
I inched closer then, slid my arm 'round her waist [Francine]
She told me her corset must needs be unlaced [Beefy]
Reaching under her blouse, I fumbled about [Francine]
But felt much relieved to have finally found out [Will_H]
That she was well-equipped for what would transpire
 
[Francine]
 
When passion was spent, Sally said to me, "Bill, [Beefy]
"I've never known joy and, perhaps, never will" [Evan]
As tears filled her eyes, she started to sob [Beefy]
"I'm married," she wept, "to a guy in the mob." [Will_H]
"Nice knowing you," I said and flew out the door
 
[Francine]
 
Colliding at speed with a guy coming in [Grayman]
I knocked from his hand half a bottle of gin [Beefy]
Needless to say, I then peed in my pants [Francine]
Was this Sally's mobster who spoiled our romance? [Anon]
Ask Sal. I exited too fast to inquire
 
[Francine]
 
My only regret (I was too shy to force it) [Will_H]
Was I never did get to try on Sal's corset [Beefy]
