Down in the alley, just you and me  
                   A                                   
We're going ballin' till half past three  
                 E                               B7  
Just rockin' and reelin', we'll get that feelin'  
             E         A        E  B 
Down in the alley, oh baby gee  

I wake 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 striking a mournful sound  
This time of evening my love comes down  
That's when I'm missin' your kind of kissin'  
Down in the alley, that's where I'll be  

guitar solo 

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

Janie, Janie, Janie, Janie, Jane Jane  
Janie, Janie, Janie, Janie, Jane Jane  
Janie, Janie, Janie, Janie, Jane
