Ride Sally Ride Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sit yourself down
Bang out a tune on that grand piano
Sit yourself down
Lay languidly down upon the sofa

[Chorus]
Ooh, isn't it nice
When your heart is made out of ice?
Ride, Sally, ride
It's not your time or way of confusion
Ride, Sally, ride
'Cause if you don't, you'll get a contusion
Ooh, isn't it nice
When your heart is made out of ice?

[Verse 2]
Sit yourself down
Take off your pants, don't you know this is a party?
Sit yourself down
Why do you think we brought all these people, Miss Brandy?

[Chorus]
Ooh, isn't it nice
When your heart's made out of ice?
Ride, Sally, ride
It's not your time, it's just your confusion
Ride, Sally, ride
It's not your time, you'll get a contusion
Ooh, isn't it nice
When you find your heart is made out of ice?
[Outro]
Ride, Sally ride
Ride, ride, ride, ride, Sally ride
Ride, ride, ride, ride, Sally ride
Ride, ride, ride, ride, Sally ride
Ride, ride, ride, ride, Sally ride
Ride, ride, ride, ride, Sally ride

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
