Toot! they\'re clear out of sight Oh, across the alley from the Alamo When the starlight beams its tender glow The beams go to sleep and then there ain\'t no dough For the people passin\' by One day, they went a walkin\' along the railroad track They were swishin\' not a-lookin\' Toot! Toot!, they never came back Oh, across the alley from the Alamo When the summer sun decides to settle low A fly sings an Indian \"Hi-de-ho\" To the people passin\' by Across the alley from the Alamo |
