The Rutles - Doubleback AlleyLyrics

People were proud in Doubleback Alley Neighbors were loud but ever so pally People would shout, joking about The smoke and the soot, mother would put The milk bottles out We had a good time in Doubleback Alley With fences to climb and Father O'Malley To clip your ear and steer you clear Of the funny man in the ice cream van Who talked so queer Doubleback Alley takes me back And in my mind I see Happy, smiling faces if I flog my memory Plenty to do in Doubleback Alley Play peek-a-boo with Saccharine Sally Bouncing a ball against a wall Showing her drawers, "You come indoors" Her dad would call Aah La la la laa Laa La la la laa Doubleback Alley takes me back And in my mind I see Happy, smiling faces if I flog my memory Stinking of gin in Doubleback Alley Grinning a grin in Doubleback Alley Kick a dustbin, bingo to win Windows to break, mother would take The milk bottles in Doubleback Alley takes me back And in my mind I see Happy, smiling faces if I flog my memory Doubleback Alley takes me back And in my mind I see Happy, smiling faces if I flog my memory Doubleback Alley
