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
|
|
on Broadway
|
jive and pray
|
There aint 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
|
shine
|
|
