Lyrics:

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 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

Killin' for their whisky, wine, and gin

I saw a cop standing

With his hand on his gun
He said 'this is a raid, boy
No, 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 pen
