[Chorus]
You look so pale, you look so frail
And you don't know if you right
You've been down to Shinbone Alley
Hangin' out all night
[Verse 1]
Well, mad old woman told me
And she never told me wrong
She said, "If you wanna keep that fool outa trouble
You gonna have to keep him home"
[Chorus]
You look so pale, you look so frail
And you don't know if you right
You've been down to Shinbone Alley
Hangin' out all night
[Verse 2]
Well, 'round about four you lock the door
And 'round about eight you hit the gate
Yes, and 'round about ten you're gone again
Possibly you'll never get home 'til five
[Chorus]
You look so pale, you look so frail
And you don't know if you right
You've been down to Shinbone Alley
Hangin' out all night
[Verse 3]
Mama says, papa says
You're shootin' them crooked dice
You lie about your friends and thе places you been
You wonder why you can't be nicе, oh
[Chorus]
You look so pale, you look so frail
And you don't know if you right
You've been down to Shinbone Alley
Hangin' out all night
