Gonna tell Aunt Mary 'bout Uncle John
He claim he has the misery but he's havin' a lot of fun
Oh, baby, yes, baby, woo, baby
Havin' me some fun tonight, yeah

Well long, tall Sally
She's built for speed, she got
Everything that Uncle John need, oh, baby
Yeah, baby, woo, baby
Havin' me some fun tonight, yeah

Well, I saw Uncle John with bald-head Sally
He saw Aunt Mary comin' and he ducked back in the alley, oh, baby
Yes, baby, woo, baby
Havin' me some fun tonight, yeah, ow

Well, long, tall Sally
She's built for speed, she got
Everything that Uncle John need, oh, baby
Yes, baby, woo, baby
Havin' me some fun tonight, yeah

Well, I saw Uncle John with bald-head Sally
He saw Aunt Mary comin' and he ducked back in the alley, oh, baby
Yes, baby, woo, baby
Havin' me some fun tonight, yeah

We gonna have some fun tonight
We gonna have some fun tonight, woo
Have some fun tonight, everything's alright
Have some fun, have me some fun tonight

    Long Tall Sally, was, like Miss Molly, a transvestite prostitute

    This song alludes to casual gay sex. Uncle John is a euphemism for Little Richard's penis, and Mary and Sally are sexual rivals. Obviously very risque for the 1950's, hense the subterfuge

    no doubt that uncle john is his wang, I thought the last verse was alluding that he had uncle john "in" sally and then he had hurry up put it back in his pants. "ducked in the valley.

    "I saw Uncle John with bald-headed Sally", not "Long Tall Sally"...
