The Lyrics
Wrote this back in December on the anniversary of her birth, but didn’t get to putting it here until now.
Sally Eilers, Sally Eilers,
Happy birthday, lovely lady, Sally Eilers,
Today would have been your birthday,
You were swell, six ways to Sunday,
We will remember you always,
Sally Eilers!
Worked for Sennett, worked for Sennett,
Carole Lombard's bathing buddy with Mack Sennett,
You should see her in a swimsuit,
Married a Gibson; first name, Hoot,
Plus, wore an aviator's suit,
Sally Eilers!
Back in 1932,
Starred in “Sailor's Luck”; and what a view!
Decoration didn’t lack,
She was swell with a Sennett named Mack,
Sally Eilers, Sally Eilers,
From our hallways; thank you always, Sally Eilers.
We wish you a happy birthday,
We won’t let your name slip away,
We remember you this Sunday,
Sally Eilers!
You're with George & Germaine Briant,
Without you, it’s very quiet,
We know you’re up in Heaven,
Thanks, Sally Eilers!
