GWell there goes SallyD  
GMy old ladyD  
GShe gone crazyD  
DrawiAng lines on Bmher face.A  
And you know I got a feelin'
That Sally's been a' stealin'
'Cause I was hip to this,
That you don't trust
Skinny lips
Sally's got a good heart,
Raised in a churchyard
But it ain't ever far
From the backyard
To the boulevard
Cemetery girls ain't fun
They ain't sweet like sugar plums.
She wasn't always like this,
But she did have
Skinny lips.
GWell I don't believe it
She don't need it from meA  
Hey hey hey hey hey
Now I seen her on weekends,
My little rose garden.
Sayin' hello to all her friends
And the gentlemen.
Now I heard it from a junkie
That my old lady
Wasn't mine but everyone's
Skinny lips.
Well I don't believe it
She don't need it from me
Hey hey hey hey hey
Come on, I need a witness
Lord it shouldn't ever be like this,
'Cause I know you won't be the pill
That makes me feel that I'm the best
Come on, come on, skinny lips
Come on, and give me just one kiss.
'Cause you know I only got one wish
That I wanna be in love with skinny lips 
Well I don't believe it
She don't need it from me
Hey hey hey hey hey
