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 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 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...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
