This is gonna go on for a while This is a story about a person we know in New York And her name is Sister Ray A very, very good friend of ours Sister Ray has a very peculiar occupation And because of that has certain, occupational hazards And so this song's about what happens down in the street Which I'm sure you're all familiar with There are five characters in this song Duck, Sally, Cecil, a sailor, a booster and Sister Ray Down on the Lower East Side Just sitting around Gettin' it on Gettin' it together
Duck and Sally inside They're cookin' for the down five Who's staring at Miss Rayon Busy licking up her pig pen Busy licking up her pig pen
Now Rosie and Miss Rayon They're busy waiting for her booster Who just got here from Carolina She said she's bound be a sailor Who's all dressed in pink and leather, ooohhh baby Oh, just got here from Alabama Said she didn't like the weather Wants to know how to earn a dollar And said, hey baby, I haven't got the time-time She's busy sucking on my ding-dong She's busy sucking on my ding-dong, Jim Ooohhh, now just like Sister Ray said I'm searching for my mainline I said I couldn't hit it sideways I said I couldn't hit it sideways Oh, just like Sister Ray said play it on
Cecil's got his new piece He cocks and shoots it bang between three and four He aims it at the sailor He shoots him down dead on the floor Oh, you shouldn't do that Don't you know you will mess up the carpet Don't you know you'll mess up the carpet, ah
By the way, have you got a dollar Hey baby, I haven't any ........ Hey baby, I haven't .... we got the time-time
She's busy sucking on my ding-dong She's busy sucking on my ding-dong Ah, just like Sister Ray said
She made me do something that I never did before I rushed right out to a flower store I bought her a bundle, a beautiful batch don't you know something, she sent it right back
Sally Mae, Sally Mae Sally Mae, oh darling, Sally Mae, yeah Sally Mae, Sally Mae Sally Mae, oh no, Sally Mae, alright

Well I got a foggy notion, do it again over in the corner, do it again I got my calamine lotion, do it again well I got a foggy notion, do it again
Duck and Sally inside They're cooking for the down five Who's staring at Miss Rayon She's busy licking up her pig pen
