They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say thereâ??s always magic in the air
But when youâ??re walking down that street
And you ainâ??t had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and youâ??re nowhere

They say the girls are something else on Broadway
But looking at them just give me the blues
How you gonna make some time
When all you have is one thin dime
And one thin dime wonâ??t even shine your shoes

They say that I wonâ??t last too long on Broadway
Iâ??ll catch a Greyhound bus for home they all say
Theyâ??re dead wrong I know they are
I can play this here guitar
And I wonâ??t quit till Iâ??m a star on Broadway

Theyâ??re dead wrong I know they are
I can play this here guitar
And I wonâ??t quit till Iâ??m a star on Broadway

Iâ??m gonna make it yeah
Iâ??ll be a big, big, big man
Iâ??ll have my name in lights
Everybody, everybody, everybodyâ??s going to know me yeah
All up and down Broadway
All up and down Broadway
All up and down Broadway
