Act One: On Broadway
They say the neon lights are bright, on Broadway (on Broadway)
They say there's always magic in the air, on Broadway (on Broadway)
But when you're walkin' down the street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere
(On Broadway)
They say the girls are something else on Broadway (on Broadway)
Yeah, but looking at them just gives me the blues (on Broadway)
'cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes (on Broadway)
They say that I won't last too long on Broadway (on Broadway)
I'll catch a grey hound bus for home they all say (on Broadway)
But they're dead wrong I know they are (Ahh, ahh, ahh)
'Cause I can play this here guitar (Ahh, ahh, ahh)
And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway (on Broadway)
I won't quit till I'm a star
I won't quit till I'm a star
I won't quit till I'm a star
I won't quit till I'm a star
I won't quit till I'm a star
I won't quit till I'm a star
On Broadway

I won't quit till I'm a star
I won't quit till I'm a star
I won't quit till I'm a star
I won't quit till I'm a star
I won't quit till I'm a star
I won't quit till I'm a star
On Broadway
