[Verse 1]
Oh Sally, my dear, I wish I could wed you
Oh Sally, my dear, I wish I could wed you
She laughed and replied, "Why, you silly blockhead", singing falla dingy-di-do, whack fall de-day

[Verse 2]
Oh, Sally, my dear, it's you I'd be kissing
Oh, Sally, my dear, it's you I'd be kissing
She laughed and replied, said, "You don't know what you're missing", singing fall dingy di-do whack fall de-day

[Verse 3]
If the girls were all blackbirds or the girls were all thrushes
If the girls were all blackbirds or the girls were all thrushes
We'd see all of the boys go to beating the bushes, singing fall dingy di-do whack fall de-day?

[Verse 4]
If the girls were all panthers and raced 'round the mountain
If the girls were all panthers and raced 'round the mountain
How many of the men would take guns to go hunt 'em, singing fall dingy di-do whack fall de-day?

[Verse 5]
Oh Sally, my dear, I wish I could wed you
Oh Sally, my dear, I wish I could wed you
Oh, sir, if you did, you'd say I misled you, singing fall dingy di-do whack fall de-day

[Verse 6]
If all of the girls were like fish in the ocean
If all of the girls were like fish in the ocean
And if I were a wave, I would raise a commotion, singing fall dingy di-do whack fall de-day
