Tin Pan Alley 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 peeked 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 c*** 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 standin'....
with his hand on his gun

Said "this is a raid boys....
nobody run"

Hey, hey, hey....
alley's the roughest place i've ever been

Yeah they took me away from tin pan alley

And took me right back...
to the pen
