Charleston Alley Lyrics
Charleston Alley - Lambert, Hendricks & Ross
On the avenue you may be
Havin' you a solid ball
But it ain't no ball at all
Compared to the kicks when
You dally in charleston alley
Maybe it don't look so hot
But believe me it's the spot
Where you can sure let your hair down
Everything's right
And you can boogy all night
Say man charleston
Alley is the play man
You can rally every
Cool cat on the avenue
And they'll say its true if
You're feelin' blue this is the place for you
No goof and that's the truth
I dig charleston alley and
I'm here t' tell ya pally
It's a place where life is real
I'm tellin' you I
Never found a better deal
We know just how you feel
Ribs and pigs feet the
Tastiest meat that you ever did eat
And a good piano player a
Plinkin' an plunkin an playin' them blues
I doubt if you'll ever be gayer
We know tell us
About what you know
Where to play tell
Us about where to go
And we'll show you
Don't know what time it takes
You the way lookin'
For what shakes
Well let me tell you
That if you've come to dally
Dig this crazy alley and we
Know its where you're goin' to move
And this is not an idle boast
Many crazy alleys
That we've went hilltop o'mally's
None a' them could quite
Compare with red hot charleston alley
When you're rockin' and you're
Rollin' to the rythym of the solid beat
You're gonna have t' stomp your
Feet and you're sure to hang around
Wiggin' an' diggin' the sounds
So dig this vocal travelogue that we're singin' everyone
'Bout that circle by the dark sun charleston alley is the place to be
We get our kicks from hicks who hurry and take in the great white way
We'll pick the alley any day charleston alley is the place for me
Better get up if you're takin' a trip take a tip
On the avenue you may be havin' you a solid ball
But it ain't no ball
At all
Compared to the kicks you get from charleston alley
If you should make the trip I'm pretty sure you'ld really flip
So let your cares be and baby make it down with me
To charleston alley
