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 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 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
