Rutles - Doubleback Alley lyrics

rate me

People 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
