Tin Pan Alley

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 people down there
Livin' for their whisky, wine, and gin

Heard a pistol shoot
And it was a .44
Somebody killed a crap shooter cause he didn't
Shake, rattle, and roll
Hey 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 heard a woman scream
And I peeped through the door
Some cat was workin' on Annie with a
Lord with a two-by-four
Hey 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 saw a cop standing
With his hand on his gun
Said, "this is a raid boys now
Lord, nobody run"
Hey hey hey hey
Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there
Livin' for their whisky, wine, and gin
