Sally Ann was not played live or recorded by Po! so this is the only recording

lyrics

She was big; a hippopotamus of a girl,
She was just thirteen and she weighed about the same.
All the boys, with their incisive brand of wit
Called her ‘fatty’ and they said she smelt of it.

In the daytime, she would walk around the school,
Never smiling, but never frowning too.
No-one knew her, but they kept up with the jibes
Said her clothes were not the fashionable kind.

Sally Ann Sally Ann

She was big; she made a million pounds a year
Painting pictures showing children fighting fear
All the boys said they went to school with her
Said they knew her, and they went to bed with her.
