Wake Up Sally Songtext
von Stan Ridgway

Wake up Sally, yeah the cops are here
And they keep knockin′ at the door
Flashlight shinin' through the window in front
Keep quiet and lay flat on the floor

Now someone must have told ′em we were hidin' out here
I bet your big dumb brother told a friend
But now we gotta make it out the back before
Just saw two more pullin' ′round the bend

Hey, I shoulda known better than to rob that bus
Just for twelve bucks layin′ in the tray
Now I hear the sheriff on the radio
We gotta crawl out back and get away

Wake up Sally, yeah the cops are here
And they keep knockin' at the door
Flashlight shinin′ through the window in front
Keep quiet and lay flat on the floor


Now did you gas up the truck like I told you to?
No, we can't take the dog, he′s gonna bark
We're outside now, slide into neutral gear
We′ll roll out the back driveway and then we'll start

Wake up Sally, we're in Kansas now
I′m gonna pull out this map while you steer
We might as well drive on to Idaho
Hey, there′s some more police behind us
Better hide the beer

Wake up Sally, yeah the cops are here
And they keep knockin' at the door
Flashlight shinin′ through the window in front
Keep quiet and lay flat on the floor

Wake up Sally, yeah the cops are here
So we'll just do what we did before
Crawl out back, get into that old truck
And slam that pedal, keep the dog down
We gotta head south, gotta get out of town
And slam that pedal to the floor

(Wake up Sally, yeah the cops are here)
