Sally in Our Alley (song)

"Sally in Our Alley" is a traditional British song, originally written by Henry Carey in 1725. It became a standard of British popular music over the following century.[1] The expression also entered popular usage, giving its name to a 1902 Broadway musical and several films including Sally in Our Alley, the 1931 screen debut of Gracie Fields.
