When Sally Walks Along Peacock Alley
Lyric: Johnny Mercer

Original publisher: Bregman, Vocco & Conn, Inc.
Chorus:
When Sally walks along Peacock Alley,
All the gentlemen tip their hats,
Fix their cravats
And roll their eyes.
When Sally walks along Peacock Alley,
Do the old ladies stop and stare?
Well, I declare,
The fur just flies!
Tim O'Malley walks with Sally,
Danny Clancy buys her wine;
Joe O'Leary calls her "dearie,"
And the flowers, well, they're mine.
When Sally walks along Peacock Alley,
Some Prince Charming will steal away
With her some day,
But till he's found,
I'll just hang around!
