Bully in the Alley

by Canberra Shanty Club

on Way Hey (And Away We'll Go) (2009)

[Chorus]
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley,
Wey hey, Bully in the alley.
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley,
Bully down in Shinbone al.

[Verse 1]
Sally is a girl that I loved dearly,
Wey hey, Bully in the alley.
Sally is the girl that I spliced nearly,
Bully down in Shinbone al.

[Chorus]
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley,
Wey hey, Bully in the alley.
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley,
Bully down in Shinbone al.

[Verse 2]
For seven long years I courted little Sally,
Wey hey, Bully in the alley.
All She did was dilly and dally,
Bully down in Shinbone al.

[Chorus]
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley,
Wey hey, Bully in the alley.
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley,
Bully down in Shinbone al.
 
[Verse 3]
I left my Sal, I went a-sailing
Wey hey, Bully in the alley.
Signed on a big ship, I went a-whaling
Bully down in Shinbone al.
 
[Chorus]
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley,
Wey hey, Bully in the alley.
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley,
Bully down in Shinbone al.

[Verse 4]
If ever I get back, I'll marry little Sally, 
Wey hey, Bully in the alley.
Have six kids and live in Shinbone alley, 
Bully down in Shinbone al.

[Chorus]
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley,
Wey hey, Bully in the alley.
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley,
Bully down in Shinbone al.

[Verse 5]
I thought I heard the old man saying, 
Wey hey, Bully in the alley.
One more pull and we're belaying, 
Bully down in Shinbone al.

[Chorus]
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley,
Wey hey, Bully in the alley.
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley,
Bully down in Shinbone al.
