Oh little Sally, you know I love you baby.

Sally … it’s alright, it’s alright.

Remember girl when we both was younger.
It was the days we had so much fun girl.
Rememberin’ all of our childhood days, yeah.
We had our fun in so many ways.

You know I would have loved you anyway.
It ain’t just something I just had to say.
Don’t let them tell you that you’re not my kind.
Sally, Sally, Sally tell them you’re mine, mine, mine.

About Lyrics and Sally by Grand Funk Railroad

When you decide to study the lyrics to Sally, you're looking at the words, verses and background chorus from the 1976 song by Grand Funk Railroad. Some of the lyrics to Sally have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Grand Funk Railroad and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to Sally if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Sally" means the words set to the music of Sally, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Grand Funk Railroad. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Sally and the lyrics to Sally are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Grand Funk Railroad who came here looking just for the lyrics to Sally, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
