Tin Pan Alley (AKA Roughest Place in Town) |
Went down to Tin Pan Alley |
See what was goin' on |
Things was too hot down there |
Couldn’t stay very long |
Hey, hey, hey, hey |
Alley’s the roughest place I’ve ever been |
All the peoples down there |
Lord, they are livin' for their whisky, wine and gin |
She get up in the mornin' |
Before the break a day |
Before she can wash her face and hand |
You know she really did go away |
Hey, hey, hey, you tell |
What kinda place can this here Alley be? |
Well now, every women I get here |
Every women I get to know |
This Alley takes her away from me |
I heard a pistol shoot |
Yeah, and it was a .44 |
Somebody killed a crap shooter |
'Cause he didn’t shake, rattle and roll |
Hey, hey, hey, hey |
What kinda place can a Alley be? |
All those people down there |
Lord, they are livin' for their whisky, wine and gin |
I heard a woman scream |
Yeah, and I peeked through the door |
Some cat was workin' on Annie with a |
Lord, Lord with a two by four |
Hey, hey, hey, hey |
Alley’s the roughest place, I’ve ever been |
All the people down there |
Lord, they are killin' for their whisky, wine and gin |
I saw a cop standing there |
With hand on his gun |
Said this is a raid boy now |
Run, run, nobody run |
Hey, hey, hey, hey |
Alley’s the roughest place, I’ve ever been |
Yeah, they took me away from Alley |
Lord, they took me right back to the pen |
