Sally in Our Alley figural pitcher modeled by Ernest T. Bailey and produced by Burgess & Leigh of Burslem, England, circa 1955. "Sally in Our Alley" is a traditional English song, originally written by Henry Carey in 1725.
It became a standard of British popular music over the following century. 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. A street light forms the handle of the pitcher.
The song has seven verses, the first of which is:
Of all the girls that are so smart
There 's none like pretty Sally;
She is the darling of my heart,
And she lives in our alley.
There is no lady in the land
Is half so sweet as Sally;
She is the darling of my heart,
And she lives in our alley.
