Sally dances on the floor

She says that she can't do it anymore

She walks down St. Marks Place

And eats natural food at my place

Now Sally can't dance no more

Sally can't dance no more

They found her in the trunk of a Ford

 G             F     D
Ooh, she can't dance no more
[Verse 2]
D
Sally is losing her face

D
She lives on St. Marks Place

In a rent-controlled apartment, eighty dollars a month

She has lots of fun, she has lots of fun, but
[Chorus]
G                    D
Sally can't dance no more, ooh

Sally can't dance no more

[Bridge]
A
She was the first girl in the neighborhood

        G                    D
To wear tied-dyed pants, ah, like she should

A
She was the first girl that I ever seen

     G                   D
That had flowers painted on her jeans

A
She was the first girl in her neighborhood

        G                         D
Who got raped on Tompkins Square, real good

    A
Now she wears a sword, like Napoleon

        G                  D
And she kills the boys and acts like a son
[Chorus]
G                    D
Sally can't dance no more, ooh now

G                    D

D
Watch this, now

Sally became a big model

And that's where she used to ball folk singers

And that's where she used to ball folk singers, but
