Some cat was workin on annie with a....lord with a two-by-four

Hey hey hey hey....alleys the roughest place Ive 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 didnt....shake, rattle, and roll

Hey hey hey hey....alleys the roughest place Ive 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....alleys the roughest place Ive ever been

Yeah they took me away from tin pan alley

And took me right back...to the pen
