ALL OF THIS FOR SALLY

Great granddaddy left five million dollars to Sally
Twelve, twenty story office buildings in New York to Sally
Sixty thousand acres of a prime beef cattle in Utah
A thirty room mansion with the servants and a chauffer with a new car

All of this for Sally, all of this for Sally
All of this for Sally, (laugh) she loves only me

Now, when the lawyers read the will and gave everything to Sally
All the great-grand kids looked disgustedly at Sally
It was quite a shock when he left his blue chip stocks to Sally
And it was terrible when he left his Riviera home to Sally

All of this for Sally...

I take Sally for a walk each evening in the city park
She looks up at me with those big brown eyes and breaks my silly heart
Sally's not too good at 'rithmetic, so all her money, I kinda handle
'Cause after all, Sally's just a four year old, uhm brown eyed, Cocker Spaniel

All of this for Sally...
