[Verse]
Went down to Tin Pan Alley
See what was going on
Things was too hot down there
Couldn't stay very long

[Chorus]
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

[Verse]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse]
I heard a pistol shoot
Yeah and it was a .44
Somebody killed a crap shooter cause he didn't
Shake, rattle, and roll
[Chorus]
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

[Verse]
I saw a cop standin'
With his hand on his gun
Said "This is a raid boys now
Lord, nobody run"

[Chorus]
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
