Verse:

Back in the town I was born in,

Folks go to bed about nine,

That's where a tie will always bind me:

A little girl I left behind me.

My little Sal must be lonely,

She knows that I'm lonely too.

I've had some pals, And wonderful gals,

But there's not another so true.

 

Chorus:

Nine o'clock Sal, Nine o'clock pal,

You're just the girl for me.

Early to bed, Early to rise,

That's an old saying, But you put me wise.

Millions of girlies, I've met a few,

But I've found out there's just one thing to do.

I'll settle down, In our little town,

Nine o'clock Sal with you.
