"Sweetheart Lane s'not on the way home. We wouldn't wanta go down Sweetheart Lane, it's in the Shades. Catch us goin' down Sweetheart Lane..."

Cecil Wormsborough St John Nobbs

Sweetheart Lane

There is a street in Ankh-Morpork,

One of ill-fortune fame.

Deep within the Shades it lies,

I speak of Sweetheart Lane.

...

Oh good sir, travel in groups I urge,

Count the shadows near.

Do you want Death to visit you,

Or those that you hold dear?

...

Assassins, thieves, even a dragon,

Though that tale's been told.

Either way, from Shades stay away,

If you value life or gold.

...

And if you are accosted,

To demands, don't refuse.

There's no such way to win a standoff,

But there are pleasant ways to lose.

...

Don't say I didn't warn you,

Don't let your guard drop.

When walking down Sweetheart Lane,

Never, ever stop.
