That doesn't really clearly define what song you are looking for.

But let me say this, and I don't mean to complain, the music is turned up WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too loud. When all you hear is static, that means turn it down.

Uh, just a guess here but was it 'Mustang Sally' by Wilson Pickett????

The song they played over the PA was "Flower" by Moby, but that chorus:

"Green sally up
And green sally down
Lift and squat
Gotta tear the ground

Old miss lucy's dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan"

Is part of an old childrens game, and the chorus has been used in several songs, sometimes changed to "bring Sally up, bring Sally down" and other minor changes to the wording.

Thanks. I'm still pissed about the game, but it was bugging me. My son has been looking for that song for some time.

And some alternate lyrics:

Green Sally up, Green Sally down
Green Sally bake her possum brown.

Asked my mama for fifteen cents
to see the elephant jump the fence.
He jumped so high, he touched the sky
He never got back till the fourth of July.

You see that house upon that hill,
That's where me and my baby live.

Oh the rabbit in the hash come a-stepping in the dash,
With his long-tailed coat and his beaver on.
