Down A Little Alley 1936

Sally was my sweetheart
many years ago
when as kids we both loved
a ten cent movie show,
Now I'd like to take her
to a cabaret
her name's up in bright lights
starred along Broadway.

Down a little alley
where I used to play
there I looked for Sally
found she'd gone away,
Then somebody told me
I could get a view,
of my sweetheart Sally,
on the Avenue.
There I saw a lovely lady
in her furs who passed me by
Now I know that my poor rich girl
is just a butterfly,
Tho' love's dream is over
in my memory,
down a little alley
is paradise to me!

There I saw a lovely lady
in her furs who passed me by
Now I know that my poor rich girl
is just a butterfly,
Tho' love's dream is over
in my memory,
down a little alley
is paradise to me!

Sally is the "tops" now
with the millionaires
rides in automobiles
pays no more subway fares,
Wonder does she ever
think of that gay time
we both had together
dancing for a dime?

Down a little alley
where I used to play
there I looked for Sally
found she'd gone away,
Then somebody told me
I could get a view,
of my sweetheart Sally,
on the Avenue.
There I saw a lovely lady
in her furs who passed me by
Now I know that my poor rich girl
is just a butterfly,
Tho' love's dream is over
in my memory,
down a little alley
is paradise to me!
