Tin Pan Alley (AKA Roughest Place in Town)

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 whiskey, 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 whiskey, 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 whiskey, wine, and gin

I saw a cop standin', with his hand on his gun

Said "this is a raid boys now, Lord nobody run"

Hey, hey, hey, Alley's the roughest place I've ever been

Yeah they took me away from that Alley

Lord and took me right back, to the pen
