Down in Boogie Alley Lyrics

Way down in Boogie Alley ain't nothing but scaws and bums
Way down in Boogie Alley ain't nothing but scaws and bums
And when I get drunk who's going to take me home?
I'm going to stop my man from running around
I'm going to stop my man from running around
Because down in Boogie Alley is where he can be found
He goes down in Boogie Alley, house number three
He goes down in Boogie Alley, house number three
And when he gets down there the womens won't let him come to see me
I went down in Boogie Alley with my razor in my hand
I went down in Boogie Alley with my razor in my hand
And the blues struck me, I brought back my man
If you go in Boogie Alley you better take your .44
If you go in Boogie Alley you better take your .44
The womens get your man down there and they won't let him go

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
