Tin Pan Alley is a dirty place
The very place my baby loves instead
Oh, Tin Pan Alley blues is killing me (it's killing me)
I met a woman down there I really wanna see
(Let me tell ya)
She's little and cute, she's young and wild
I just wanna hold her in my arms for a little way
So the Tin Pan Alley blues will let me be (will let me be)
'Cause life would be so sweet if you only would agree
(Make up your mind, woman!)
You see I love you for yourself
You're just the kind of woman that don't seem to care
Oh, Tin Pan Alley baby must be your home
Ain't nothing down there baby but blood and bone
Yes, yes...
[Instrumental]
Tin Pan Alley, it's way 'cross town
People like to kick the dog when the sun goes down
Baby, baby, please make up your little mind
Because a woman like you darling is sure 'nuff hard to find
