Be My Girl - Sally Lyrics

Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my
Be my girl

Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my
Be my girl

Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my
Be my girl

Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my
Be my girl

I was blue and lonely, I couldn't sleep a wink
And I could only get unconscious if I'd had to much to drink.
There was somehow, something wrong somewhere,
And each day seemed grey and dead
The seeds of desperation were growing in my head.
I needed inspiration, a brand new start in life,
Somewhere to place affection, but I didn't want a wife.
And then by lucky chance I saw in a special magazine
An ad that was unusual, the like I'd never seen,

Experience something different with our new imported toy,
She's loving, warm, inflatable and a guarantee of joy.

She came all wrapped in cardboard, all pink and shrivelled down
A breath of air was all she needed to make her lose that frown.
I took her to the bedroom and pumped her with some life,
And later in a moment that girl became my wife.
And so I sit her in the corner and sometimes stroke her hair
And when I'm feeling naughty I blow her up with air
She's cuddly and she's bouncy, she's like a rubber ball,
I bounce her in the kitchen and I bounce her in the hall.

And now my life is different since Sally came my way
I wake up in the morning and have her on a tray
She's everything they say she was and I wear a permanent grin,
And I only have to worry in case my girl wears pins.

Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my,
Be my girl

Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my
Be my girl

Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my
Be my girl

Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my
Be my girl

this song amuses me so much...

most definately, amusing. From the topic about the blow up girlfriend, being too drunk to perform, to the "speaker" beginning with I was blue and lonely... about his issues, and mostly what he can do with his girlfriend. Totally satisfied, happy, somewhere to place affection, love it! Clockwork Orangish

buttofmalmsey said it best....but they cover so much, really. I love this song, soooo funny, but catchy at the same time...will you be my girl will you be my girl. Stuart Copeland is awesome! Best drummer ever!

I think the final verse actually ends with "in case my girl wears thin".

I love the contrast between the sung and spoken portions of the song. This is a rare vocal by Andy Summers. "Mother" on Synchronicity also has Andy on vocals and is also about a very sexually disturbed man.

… and 'Be My Girl - Sally', about Andy Summers falling in love with an inflatable doll (too much Bryan Ferry listening, Andy?), is hilarious as long as it's music, but I don't think the narrative interruption is funny at all. Experimental, maybe, but... eh... In all other respects, though, Outlandos D'Amour is really cool to listen to, and for many bands of the epoch it would have been a crowning masterpiece - it is nothing short of a miracle that the Police's next two records each improved on each other. Take this one as the band's Please Please Me. [George Starostin]

This song was also one of the highlights of the Police's early concerts. Believe it or not! :-D Andy Summers did have a taste for distasteful lyrics :-P Also: Friends (a song about cannibalism)!

I just love Andy's poem! This is the sweetest declaration of love to an inflatable doll of all time! : D OK, it's the only declaration to a doll I know, but still, I don't think anyone could beat it. rofl I also like the way he reads the poem, as if it was a bedtime story for kids.

I know right?! As if kids would understand the point of the song. I also love the random plonky piano in the background as he reads it. This song is so hilarious!

The guy reading the poem reminds me of Alex from A Clockwork Orange

@CronoAeon correct!!!!
