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 till I'm a star on Broadway

They're all wrong, I know they are

I may be singing in this bar

But I won't quit till 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
