They say t he ne on lights are bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But w hen you'r e walkin' down that street
And y ou a in't had enough to eat
The g litter rubs right off and you're nowhere
They say the women treat you fine on Broadway
But looking at them just gives me the blues
'Cau se h ow y ou're gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't event shine your shoes
They say t hat 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 year's guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway
I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway
