"Sally in Our Alley" is a traditional English song, originally written by Henry Carey in 1725.[citation needed] It became a standard of British popular music over the following century.[1] The expression also entered popular usage, giving its name to a 1902 Broadway musical and several films including Sally in Our Alley, the 1931 screen debut of Gracie Fields.
Of all the girls that are so smart There 's none like pretty Sally; She is the darling of my heart, And she lives in our alley. There is no lady in the land Is half so sweet as Sally; She is the darling of my heart, And she lives in our alley.[2]
