Rutles - Doubleback Alley lyrics
rate mePeople were proud in Doubleback Alley<br />
Neighbors were loud, but ever so pally<br />
People would shout<br />
Joking about<br />
The smoke and the soot<br />
Mother would put<br />
the milk bottles out<br />
We had a good time in Doubleback Alley<br />
With fences to climb and Father O'Malley<br />
to clip your ear<br />
and steer you clear<br />
of the funny man<br />
on the ice cream van<br />
that talked so queer<br />
<br />
Doubleback Alley takes me back and in my mind I see<br />
happy smiling faces if I flog my memory<br />
<br />
Plenty to do in Doubleback Alley<br />
Play peek-a-boo with Saccharine Sally<br />
Bouncing a ball<br />
against the wall<br />
showing her drawers<br />
you come indoors<br />
her dad would call<br />
<br />
Doubleback Alley takes me back and in my mind I see<br />
happy smiling faces if I flog my memory<br />
<br />
Stinking of gin in Doubleback Alley<br />
Grinning a grin in Doubleback Alley<br />
Kick a dustbin<br />
Bingo to win<br />
Windows to break<br />
mother would take<br />
the milk bottles in<br />
<br />
Doubleback Alley takes me back and in my mind I see<br />
happy smiling faces if I flog my memory<br />
<br />
Doubleback Alley takes me back and in my mind I see<br />
happy smiling faces if I flog my memory<br />
<br />
Doubleback Alley
