Charleston Alley Lyrics
Charleston Alley - Lambert, Hendricks & Ross
On the avenue you may be having 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 beleive 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 feeling 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 its a place where
Life is real
I'm telling 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 plunking an playing 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
Of all the 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 rolling to the rythym of the solid beat
You're gonna have t' stomp your feet and you're sure to hang around
Wigging an' diggin the sounds
So dig this vocal travelogue that we're singing 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 taking a trip take a tip
On the avenue you may be having 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'd really flip
So let your cares be and baby make it down with me
To charleston alley
