Sally
In And Out Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He said he had the misery but he got a lot of fun
Baby, yeah now baby
Woo baby, some fun tonight
I saw Uncle John with Long Tall Sally
He saw Aunt Mary comin' and he ducked back in the alley
Oh, baby, yeah now baby
Well Long Tall Sally's built pretty sweet
She got everything that Uncle John need
Baby, yeah now baby
Woo baby, some fun tonight
Well, we're gonna have some fun tonight
Have some fun tonight
Everything's all right
Have some fun tonight
Have some fun
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We're gonna have some fun tonight
Have some fun tonight
Everything's all right
Have some fun tonight
Yeah, we'll have some fun
Some fun tonight
The lyrics of In And Out's song Sally are an intriguing mix of shrouded references and ambiguous situations. The song opens up with the singer informing Aunt Mary about Uncle John, claiming that even though he said he was not happy, he had a lot of fun. These lines could be hinting towards a situation of infidelity, where Uncle John is cheating on Aunt Mary, but he is not entirely unhappy with how things are going.
The lyrics go on to describe a scene where the singer witnesses Uncle John with Long Tall Sally, and then he quickly ducks into an alley upon seeing Aunt Mary approaching. From the context of the song, it may be that the lyrics are alluding to a moment of indiscretion or illicit behavior, where Uncle John is caught red-handed with Long Tall Sally, and instead of facing the consequences, he runs away to avoid the confrontation.
The refrain of the song, "Woo baby, some fun tonight," could be interpreted in various ways. It could be a statement of anticipation or a more sinister exaltation of the excitement of the situation. Overall, the lyrics of Sally are ambiguous and illusory in their references, leaving it up to the listeners to interpret them.
