Tin Pan Alley

Tin Pan Alley
(Sedaka/Greenfield)

Anytime you're feeling down
And your day needs some turnin' around
Turn up your radio and let the music play.
Don't you know it always makes ya
Happy when the music takes ya
Just let it carry you away . . . and you'll be goin'
To the place where songs are born
Where you can really get it on
They always told ya music makes the world go round
You can shake away your troubles like a tambourine
Tell me do you know the place I mean?

Tin Pan Alley
I'm talkin' 'bout Tin Pan Alley
That land of magic where the music meets the words.
So come along and dream a dream or two
There's a song for you
In Tin Pan Alley.

Come and get your memories
You'll find 'em waitin' in the melodies
Where everything you love is just a song away.
Funny how the tunes remind ya
Of the things you left behind ya
You're not that far from yesterday . . .
It's in the music.
Come and let it all begin
Open up and let it in
Without a song your heart is just a lonely place.
Sometimes this crazy world can bring you down but then
music always brings you back again.

I'm talkin' 'bout Tin Pan Alley
That land of magic where the music meets the words.
So come along and dream a dream or two
There's a song for you
In Tin Pan Alley.
