Tin Pan Alley

I made up a new little song, if I had a nickel for every one... Then I'd be making a living instead of sitting here whistling now I'd be making a living just like a tin pan alley musician. I'd come up with ten tunes a day, keep them ever-coming for but a modest wage... Then I'd be making a living instead of sitting here whistling now I'd be making a living just like a tin pan alley musician. If they'd listen to me whistlin; they would whistle along... ...Then I'd be making a living just like those old tin pan alley musicians. If they'd listen to me whistlin' I won't be sittin' here long...
