They say the neon lights are bright
On Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
On Broadway
But when you're walking 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
But looking at them just gives me the blues
On Broadway
How're ya gonna make some time
When all you have 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 Greyhound bus for home, they all say
On Broadway
But no, no they're wrong, I know they are
I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star
On Broadway
But no, play guitar I know they are
I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star
On Broadway
I'm gonna make it, yeah
On Broadway
I'll be a big, big, big man
On Broadway
I'll have my name in lights
On Broadway
Everybody, everybody, everybody's gonn' know me, yeah
On Broadway
Oh, up and down Broadway
On Broadway
Oh, up and down Broadway
On Broadway
Oh, up and down Broadway
On Broadway
Oh, up and down Broadway
On Broadway
Oh, up and down Broadway
On Broadway
