Long Tall Sally

Lyrics: Johnson, Penniman, Blackwell
Music: Johnson, Penniman, Blackwell

This was played by John Fogerty with the Grateful Dead and Huey Lewis at the Bay Area Music Awards on 12 March 1988, and on 27 May 1989 with Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir, billed as "John Fogerty and Friends".

Gonna tell Aunt Mary 'bout Uncle John
He says he has the blues but he has a lotta fun
Oh baby
Ye-e-e-eh baby
Woo-o-o-oh baby
Havin' me some fun tonight

Well, long tall Sally has a lot on the ball
And nobody cares if she's long and tall
Oh baby
Ye-e-e-eh baby
Woo-o-o-oh baby
Havin' me some fun tonight

Well, I saw Uncle John with long tall Sally
He saw Aunt mary coming and he ducked back in the alley
Oh baby
Ye-e-e-eh baby
Woo-o-o-oh baby
Wavin' me some fun tonight

We're gonna have some fun tonight
Gonna have some fun tonight
We're gonna have some fun tonight
Everything will be alright
We're gonna have some fun
Gonna have some fun tonight
