Went down to Tin Pan Alley
To see what was goin' on
ย
Things was too hot down there
Couldn't stay very long
Hey-hey-hey-hey
ย
Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
ย
All the people down there
ย
Livin' for their whisky, wine, and gin
ย
I heard a woman scream
ย
Yeah, and I peeped through the door
Some cat was workin' on Annie with a
Lord with a two-by-four
Hey-hey-hey-hey
ย
Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
ย
All the people down there
ย
Livin' for their whisky, wine, and gin
ย
I heard a pistol shoot
ย
Yeah, and it was a .44
ย
Somebody killed a crap shooter
'Cause he didn't shake, rattle, and roll
Hey-hey-hey-hey
ย
Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
ย
All the people down there
ย
Killing for their whisky, wine, and gin
ย
I hear a cop standing
ย
With his hand on his gun
He said, "this is a raid boy
ย
Nobody run
Hey-hey-hey-hey
ย
Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
ย
Yeah, they took me away from Alley
Lord, they took me right back to the bed
