They say the neon lights are bright on BroadwayThey say there's always magic in the airBut when you're walking down that streetAnd you ain't had enough to eatThe glitter rubs right off your feet and you're nowhereThey say the women treat you right on BroadwayBut looking at them just gives me the blues'Cause how you gonna make some timeWhen all you got is one thin dimeAnd one thin dime won't even shine your shoesThey say that I won't last too long on BroadwayI'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all sayBut they're dead wrong, I know they areI may be singing in this barBut I won't quit till I'm a star on BroadwayThey're all wrong, I know they areI may be singing in this barBut I won't quit till I'm a star on BroadwayThey say the neon lights are bright on BroadwayThey say there's always magic in the airThey say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
