Jump high Sally, girl, turn around and spin
Run long legged to the gentlemen
Jump high Sally, girl, turn around and spin
Run long legged to the gentlemen
All I wanna do is jump so high
They'd never catch my name, wouldn't even try
For sixteen years I've been runnin' for the man
Sixteen years, now I got me a plan
Chorus
I looked at the night sky, the clouds were rollin' in
The stars were shining, but the moon was dim
It all then came to me just how I'd get away
I'd make my move at mornin', just before the break of day
Chorus
While everyone was sleepin' from the long long night before
I'd pick their dirty pockets from their pants upon the floor
Down the long dark hallway to the backstairs I would go
My long legs runnin' to a place only I know
I said, Jump High Sally, girl, turn around and grin
You'll never be a runnin' to no gentlemen
I said, Jump High Sally, girl, turn around and grin
You'll never be a runnin' to no gentlemen!
