Verse 2
Take a look at Dave he was once 17, Zoot suit and shiney shoes.
He ran around town and through his methylated laughter
Most of his memories drowned.
But he remembers what his mommy used to shout
She used to shout, "One day surely son, the streets are gonna tire you out."

Chorus
So put your hands together for Sally, She's the one who cared for him.
Put your hands together for Sally, She was there when his luck was running thin
She's doing our dirty work, She's the only one who cares
Doing our dirty work, thirsty work, one angry day, in New York.

Verse 3
Tommy had a wife and family, but the needle came between the love and the hard times
Thank God for Sally, She was there through the misery

Solo

Part Chorus
She's doing our dirty work
She's the only one who cares
Doing our dirty work
Thirsty world, one angry day

Verse 4
Vince came up from the country, couldn't even find himself a room.
Thinking about his babies, that's further away than the moon. 
With no money but his pride in his pocket, there's really no way he can go home.
There's a picture of his woman in his locket, most of all he doesn't want to be alone.

Chorus
So put your hands together for Sally, She's the one who cared for him.
Put your hands together for Sally, She was there when his luck was running thin
She's doing our dirty work, She's the only one who cares
Doing our dirty work, thirsty work, one angry day, in New York.
