Lyrics:

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
