On Broadway
They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walking down that street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off your feet and you're nowhere
They say the women treat you right on Broadway
But looking at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how you gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes
They say that I won't last too long on Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say
But they're dead wrong, I know they are
I may be singing in this bar
But I won't quit 'til I'm a star on Broadway (on Broadway)
They're all wrong, I know they are
I may be singing in this bar
But I won't quit 'til I'm a star on Broadway
They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walking down that street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off your feet and you're nowhere
They say the women treat you right on Broadway
But looking at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how you gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes
They say that I won't last too long on Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say
But they're dead wrong, I know they are
I may be singing in this bar
But I won't quit 'til I'm a star on Broadway (on Broadway)
They're all wrong, I know they are
I may be singing in this bar
But I won't quit 'til I'm a star on Broadway
They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
