Got a sweet woman, she give me what I need,

she lives down the alley and she's built with speed

So take me down in the alley

So take me down in the alley

So take me down in the alley if you wanna satisfy me

Don't want no liquor, thirty cents a shot,

that stuff down the alley really hits the spot

So take me down in the alley

So take me down in the alley

So take me down in the alley if you wanna satisfy me

Take me down in the alley boy, if you wanna satisfy me

If you wanna somethin', smell like fish,

down in the alley you can find that dish

So take me down in the alley

So take me down in the alley

So take me down in the alley if you wanna satisfy me

I'm a tough man, I don't want nothin' nice

Goin' down the alley where the women shootin' dice

So take me down in the alley

So take me down in the alley

So take me down in the alley if you wanna satisfy me

Take me down in the alley boy, where the women shootin' dice

If you wanna satisfy me

Don't give me no woman, from uptown,

the women down the alley really breaks 'em down

So take me down in the alley

So take me down in the alley

So take me down in the alley if you wanna satisfy me

Gonna sing this verse, ain't gonna sing no more,

if you wanna find me you know where to go

Just go down in the alley

Just go down in the alley

Just go down in the alley, baby if you wanna find me
