Lyrics:

Well, they guild their houses
In preparation for the king
And they line the sidewalks
With every sort of shiny thing
They will be surprised
When they hear him say

'Take me to the alley
Take me to the afflicted ones
Take me to the lonely ones
That somehow lost their way
Let them hear me say
'I am your friend
Come to my table
Rest here in my garden
You will have a pardon'

'Take me to the alley
Take me to the afflicted ones
Take me to the lonely ones
That somehow lost their way
Let them hear me say
'I am your friend
Come to my table
Rest here in my garden
You will have a pardon'

They will be surprised
When they hear him say

'Take me to the alley
Take me to the afflicted ones
Take me to the lonely ones that
Somehow lost their way
Let them hear me say
'I am your friend
Come to my table
Rest here in my garden
You will have a pardon
You will have a pardon'

'Oh, take me to the alley (take me to the alley)
Take me to the afflicted ones (afflicted ones, oh)
Take me, take me
Take me, take me
Take me (take me)'
