Tin Pan Alley (AKA Roughest Place in Town)
Went down to Tin Pan Alley
To 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
I heard a woman scream
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
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-hey
Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there
Killing for their whisky, wine, and gin
I hear a cop standing
With his hand on his gun
He said, "this is a raid boy
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 bed
To 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
I heard a woman scream
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
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-hey
Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there
Killing for their whisky, wine, and gin
I hear a cop standing
With his hand on his gun
He said, "this is a raid boy
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 bed
