Lyrics Tin Pan Alley - The Apples In Stereo

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...
