Sir Mack Rice's song was about his drummer friend's desire to be bought a 1965 Mustang by Della Reece for whom he was playing. The joke was that the drummer was unambitious (flat-footed) as others in the band desired bigger and more practical cars like Cadillacs . Rice teased the drummer with a nursery rhyme: "Little Sally Walker sitting in a saucer,Ride, Sally, ride!". The song was based on the rhyme .
