Sally met him in the war, back in 1944

He took her home to the states

His buddies thought that she was great



Subway sallys 51

Her man is gone, the dreams are done

She rides by night the Brooklyn train

Sleeps by day to hide the pain



Lonely women of the world

Were the happy girls

Lonely heroes of the world

Seek the happy girls



Nancy saw him on the street

His shoes were shined, his suit was neat

She couldnt see his broken mind

Behind the mask of being kind



He sleeps inside the iron bars

Nancys smile cant hide the scars

Her daughters grown, theres no one home

She cries all night, shes all alone



Lonely women of the world

Were the happy girls

Lonely heroes of the world

Seek the happy girls



To tell the truth theres no end in sight

Mr Lonely always calls at night

Lets hold on tight until the morning light



Terrys gonna meet him soon

Today at school, maybe noon

I hope for her it turns out right

I know shes got a date tonight



Had my ups, had my downs

Truth was lost but truth was found

This Ive learned, the world still turns

We all get bruised, we all get burned



Lonely women of the world

Were the happy girls

Lonely heroes of the world

Seek the happy girls



Happy girls, happy girls, happy girls
