Mercy on Broadway
Madison smiled and she hung with a band of strays
The band was gone
Bringin' it on to the broadway blaze
Once I lived under the city in my sweet July
July mercy on Broadway
Don't you believe it
You better know what I say
She'll make you pay
Down the alleyway, slippin' up a sidestreet
Shine everybody, shine everybody
Everybody, shine everybody
On Broadway, jive and pray
There ain't no mercy now on Broadway
People and the landlords shine
Down and gay wine
In the doom swept the band away
Baby on Broadway
Is she mild like mother and child?
Does she obey?
Once I lived under the city in my sweet July
July mercy on Broadway
Don't you believe it
You better know what I say
She'll make you pay
Black city fair
Ole road runner there
Shine everybody
(Everybody, everybody)
Shine everybody
There'll be no mercy on Broadway
[Incomprehensible]
Mercy on Broadway, mercy on Broadway
Hey!
The band was gone
Bringin' it on to the broadway blaze
Once I lived under the city in my sweet July
July mercy on Broadway
Don't you believe it
You better know what I say
She'll make you pay
Down the alleyway, slippin' up a sidestreet
Shine everybody, shine everybody
Everybody, shine everybody
On Broadway, jive and pray
There ain't no mercy now on Broadway
People and the landlords shine
Down and gay wine
In the doom swept the band away
Baby on Broadway
Is she mild like mother and child?
Does she obey?
Once I lived under the city in my sweet July
July mercy on Broadway
Don't you believe it
You better know what I say
She'll make you pay
Black city fair
Ole road runner there
Shine everybody
(Everybody, everybody)
Shine everybody
There'll be no mercy on Broadway
[Incomprehensible]
Mercy on Broadway, mercy on Broadway
Hey!
