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

Yeah and I peeped through the door

Hey hey hey hey, Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there
Livin' for their whiskey, wine, and ginI 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 whiskye, wine, and ginI saw a cop standing
With his hand on his gun
He said "this is a raid, boy
