Verse:
Sally (with the narrow hips)
cut the ropes and said she would clear my head
Made a path out in the back
and led me all the way to her daddy's shed
I said : "Sally, Who'd beleive that we we'd have to com so far for a thrill.
Sally let me got that night,
weak, tired, and spent out in Merritville

Chorus:
There's a game they play in the summertime
There's a game they play when it's hot outside
And I wonder why they left me here in
Merritville

Verse:
William (with the scarlet robe)
Stopped me as I styumbled down the road today.
He said, "On your knees, boy,
it's time you learned the right way to pray".
I said, "William, I had no idea that the Lord has such a will".
William drove his point across 
and let me die here to burn in Merritville.
