Stan Ridgway - Wake Up Sally lyrics

Spoken: Okay, now, try to stay quiet. Chorus: Wake up, Sally, yeah, the cops are here And they keep knockin' at the door Flashlights shinin' through the window in front Keep quiet and lay flat on the floor Now, someone musta told 'em we were hidin' out here I bet yer big dumb brother told a friend 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-a 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 Flashlights shinin' through the window in front Keep quiet and lay flat on the floor Now, someone musta told 'em we were hidin' out here Now didja 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, yeah, the cops are here And they keep knockin' at the door Flashlights shinin' through the window in front Keep quiet and lay flat on the floor Now, someone musta told 'em we were hidin' out here Now, there's ten more troopers on the roundabout Turn the corner, see a camera and a light Now, Sally, keep the dog down or we'll be had And then up on the television next Monday night 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 Flashlights shinin' through the window in front Keep quiet and lay flat on the floor Now, someone musta told 'em we were hidin' out here 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 outta town–– And slam that pedal to the floor
