On Broadway Lyrics By The Drifters

    they say the neon lights are bright
    on broadway on broadway
    they say there’s always magic in the air on broadway
    but when you’re walkin’ down that street
    and you ain’t had enough to eat
    the glitter rubs right off and you’re nowhere on broadway

    they say the girls are something else
    on broadway on broadway
    but looking at them just gives me the blues on broadway
    ’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 on broadway

    ha they say that i won’t last too long
    on broadway on broadway
    i’ll catch a greyhound bus for home they all say on broadway
    but oh they’re dead wrong i know they are
    ’cause i can play this here
    and i won’t quit till i’m a star on broadway on broadway

    oh they’re dead wrong i know they are
    ’cause i can play this here
    and i won’t quit till i’m a star on broadway on broadway
    on broadway on broadway
    i’m gonna make it yeah on broadway
    i’ll be a big big big man on broadway
    i’ll have my name in lights on broadway
    everybody everybody’s gonna know me yes on broadway
    all up and down broadway on broadway
    ohhhhh yeah on broadway
