Went down to Tin Pan Alley
See what was going on
Things was too hot down there
Couldn't stay very long
Hey, hey, hey
Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there
Livin' for their whisky, wine and gin
I heard a woman scream
Yeah, and I peeped through door
Some cat was workin' on Annie with a
Lord with a two by four
Hey, hey, hey
Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there
Livin' for their whisky, wine and gin
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
Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there
Killin' for their whisky, wine and gin
I saw a cop standing
With his hand on his gun
Said, "This is a raid, boy, now"
No, nobody run
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
