Drink another
half a pint and a good, cool can of beer!
Oh, kick it,
Mister Man!
Kick it!
We're all down
in tin can alley!
I was down in
tin can alley,
Loaded down
with that bust-head gin,
I was down in
tan can alley,
Loaded down
with that bust-head gin,
The police took
me to the jailhouse,
I got out and
come right back again.
I liked old
tin can alley,
I even liked
old tin can jail.
I liked old
tin can alley,
I even liked
old tin can jail.
Still they treat
me like a dog,
With a tin can
tied onto my tail.
