They say that, neon lights are bright on Broadway

They say there's always magic in the air

But when you're walking down the street

And you ain't had enough to eat

The city all lights up and you're nowhere

They say, the girls are something else on Broadway

Looking at them just gives me the blues

'Cause how're you 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, love won't last too long on Broadway

Now catch a Greyhound bus for home

They all say, I bet they're wrong, I know they are

'Cause I can play this here guitar

And I won't quit 'till I'm a star on Broadway
