From: Ralph Butts

Looking for the lyrics and music for this 1924 gem by Milton Ager and Jack Yellen. It starts out with......

    Old time pals and old time gals,
    Where are your smiles today?

Can anyone help? Thanks......Tiger

I've got the chorus for you, but not the verse, but maybe in another book, I'll check next week.

"I wonder what's become of Sally, that old gal of mine?
The sunshine's missing from our alley
Ever since the day Sally went away.
No matter what she is; Where-ever she may be,
If no-one wants her now Please send her home to me
I'll always welcome back my Sally,
That old gal of mine."

Music available if needed.

Here's the only verse I could find
along with the refrain above!

Old time pals and old time gals
Where are your smiles today?
Friends of old with hearts of gold
Where have you drifted away?
Where is Johnny and Mary and all the rest?
And where is the one I loved best?

Wow, if that's all Gene can find, it must REALLY be lost?

Keep up the good work, guys.....Tiger

Is it properly called Sally In The Alley, or is that another song?

No, my mistake. That was Sally In Our Alley and it is a different thing altogether. (Sally in Our Alley is at http://www.bartleby.com/101/444.html )
