What is the song all about? Is Alphabet St an actual place or some sort of metaphor, sexual or otherwise, that's gone totally over my head?

I never really understood this song,either.

Damn funky, though. got the single on vinyl for a cool $AU2 yesterday...

Put the right letters together...

Read between the lines.

No,you explain the meaning to us!

Alphabet Street is iiin youuur heaaart. No wait that's Paisley Park.

It's somewhere you can drive to Tenessee from in one night in an old Thunderbird. That kinda narrows it down.

We had this discussion before and someone insisted that this song is really about oral sex

Own't know! But, there's an Alphabet City in lower Manhattan.

ummm...

No!

I'm going down 2 Alphabet Street
I'm gonna crown the first girl that I meet
I'm gonna talk so sexy
She'll want me from my head 2 my feet

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yes she will
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm gonna drive my daddy's Thunderbird (My daddy's thunderbird)
A white rad ride, '66 ('67) so glam it's absurd
I'm gonna put her in the back seat
And drive her 2 ... Tennessee

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Tennessee
Yeah, yeah, yeah, drive her

Excuse me, baby
I don't mean 2 be rude
But I guess tonight I'm just not, I'm just not in the mood
So if U don't mind (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I would like to...watch

Yeah, yeah, yeah...can I?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Can I, can I, can I, can I)

We're going down, down, down, if that's the only way
2 make this cruel, cruel world hear what we've got to say
Put the right letters together and make a better day

Yeah, yeah, yeah, better days
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's O-O-K
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Maybe it's the only way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
