Lyrics Sally The Salvage Queen - George Formby

There′s a dame who travels round, to salvage she attends
Down every road she finds a load of junk and odds and ends
At lifting things she's got the knack, pots and pans inside a sack
With a chest of drawers upon her back, that′s Sally the Salvage Queen
She is always on the spot, amongst the ruins like a shot
The biggest ruin of the lot, is Sally, the Salvage Queen
All the waste the wasters waste, it won't waste away
Right up to her waist in waste, she works night and-day
To save a pub from fire she tried, dragged six barrels out with pride
And another five quarts of beer inside of Sally the Salvage Queen
Once there was an awful blast, gas was soon escaping fast
They stopped the gas main up at last, with Sally the Salvage Queen
She'll drag out chairs all thick with
Dust, an old bedstead all gone to rust
And a couple of saucepans down her
Bust, that′s Sally the Salvage Queen
All the waste the wasters waste, it won′t waste away
Right up to her waist in waste, she works night and day
Wrapped up in an old dishcloth was a toilet set from Mrs. Goff
And a what's-a-name with the handle off, for Sally the Salvage Queen
A crane they fixed above a pit, they hauled it up but had a fit
Hooked by her slacks on the end of it, was Sally the Salvage Queen
Furniture she saved all right, saved a bed with sheets so white
And a couple of wardens for tonight, that′s Sally the Salvage Queen
All the waste the wasters waste, it won't waste away
Right up to her waist in waste, she works night and day
Buried in a hole was she, upside down they dragged her free
With her legs shaped V for Victory, that′s Sally the Salvage Queen
