Well it's just another weeknight And the crowd ain't great Must be trouble on the freeway Been a lot of that of late And there's a few of the ususals Wrapped around their drinks And a madman in the corner No one cares what he thinks... (chorus) But it's all right with me All right with me 'Cause I'm playing in the band Backing up Sally G... Now there's Amber in the spotlight She's a little bit fat Got no pride in her appearance What the hell's up with that Chewing gum with a vengeance And looking bored to tears She says she's only twenty-one But it ain't about the years... (chorus) And it's all right with me All right with me 'Cause I'm playing in the band Backing up Sally G... And the drummer he's a good man But a little bit sad He's had eleven operations and he still feels bad Got a love affair with bushmills Been known to do cocaine Says it's just for recreation Lord it ain't about the pain... (chorus) And it's all right with me All right with me 'Cause I'm playing in the band Backing up Sally G... And then Sally hits the stage All I can do is stare She's got legs that go forever And a world-class derriere And she moves just like a cobra And she's driving me insane And now she's down to nothing And I just forgot my name And she's swaying, she's playing She moves it all around She's touching everything she's got And crawling 'cross the ground And I swear my friend for just one night I'd die a happy man 'Cause the girl can pick up dollar bills And never use her hands... (chorus) And it's all right with me All right with me 'Cause I'm playing in the band Backing up Sally G... to fade
