Chang-aty, chang-aty, chang-aty, chang-aty, chang, chang
Chang-aty, chang-aty, chang-aty, chang-aty, chang, chang

Down in the alley, just you and me 
We're going ballin' till half-past-three 
Just rockin' and reelin', we'll get that feelin' 
Down in the alley, oh baby, gee 

I'll plant you now and dig you later 
'Cause you're a fine sweet potato 
We'll have a ball and that ain't all 
Down in the alley, just you and me 

The clock is strikin' a mournful sound 
This time of evenin' my love comes down 
That's when I'm missin' your kind of kissin' 
Down in the alley, that's where I'll be

(Instrumental Break)

Down in the alley, we sure have fun 
We just get started 'bout half-past-one 
So if you're 'round, just drop on down 
Down in the alley and you will see 

Chang-aty, chang-aty, chang-aty, chang-aty, chang, chang
Chang-aty, chang-aty, chang-aty, chang-aty, chang
