Oh, are these lyrics not "real" enough for you? :

SALLY BROWN 2 {excerpt}

Oh Sally Brown she's a creole lady,
(Way hey roll and go,)
Sally Brown's a gay old lady,
(Spent my money on Sally Brown.)
.....

Oh Sally Brown I love your daughter
I love the place she makes her water.

or these lyrics from:

ROLL BOYS ROLL {excerpt}
West Indian halyard shanty

"Oh we're rollin' down to Trinidad to see Miss Sally Brown
Oh rollin' down to Trinidad to paint the bleedin' town

She's lovely up aloft, an' she's lovely down below
She's lovely all the way, me boys, it's all you want to know

She's lovely on the foreyard, lovely on the main
She's lovely in the summertime, she's lovely in the rain"
etc etc etc

Should nothing be left to adult imagination?

And btw, did pre-schoolers anywhere used to know "Sally Brown"?
Unless a teacher or parent had introduced them to this song, it seems that most pre-schoolers where I live don't even know "Little Sally Walker" {sittin in a saucer} or "Little Sally Ann" {sittin in the sand}.

The only songs that it seems most pre-schoolers in my area seem to know nowadays {besides the ones on hip-hop/R&B radio stations and shows like Barney the purple dinosaur} are "Ring around the rosie" and "Hokey Pokey".

To quote somebody [I can't remember' who: "What a revolting state of development this is."
