Karaoké Avenues and Alleyways Tony Christie

Sleep like a baby

My little lady

Dream 'till the sunrise

Creeps into your eyes dream 'till the sunrise turns on the day

In the avenues and alleyways while you sleep there's a whole world comin' alive

Abel and his brother fight with one another in and out of every dive

The avenues and alleyways where the strong and the quick alone can survive

Look around the jungle see the rough and tumble listen to a squealer cry

Then a little later in the morning paper read about the way he died

Wake up my pretty

Go to the city

Stay through the daytime

Safe in the sunshine stay till the daytime turns into night

In the avenues and alleyways where a man's gotta work out which side he's on

Anyway he chooses chances are he looses no one gets to live too long

The avenues and alleyways where the soul of a man is easy to buy

Everybody's wheelin' everybody's stealin' all the low are living high

Every city's got 'em can we ever stop 'em

Some of us have gotta try
