On Broadway
|
(Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil/Mike Stoller/Jerry Leiber)
|
|
They say the neon lights are bright
|
On Broadway
|
They say there's always magic in the air
|
But when you're walkin' down that street
|
And you ain't got enough to eat
|
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere
|
|
They say the chicks are somethin' else
|
On Broadway
|
But lookin' at them just gives me the blues
|
'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
|
|
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
|
'Cause I can play this here guitar
|
And I won't quit till I'm a star
|
On Broadway
|
|
But they're dead wrong, I know they are
|
'Cause I can play this here guitar
|
And I won't quit till I'm a star
|
On Broadway
|
On Broadway
|
I'm gonna make it, yeah
|
On Broadway
|
I'll be a big, big man
|
On Broadway
|
I'll have my name in lights
|
On Broadway
|
Everybody gonna know me
|
On Broadway
|
All up and down Broadway
|
On Broadway
|
