They say the neon lights are bright,
On Broadway. (On Broadway.)
They say there's always magic,
In the air. (On Broadway.)
(Ahh-oooo.)
But when you're walkin' down the street,
(Ahh-oooo.)
And you ain't had enough to eat,
(Wop-wop, wop-wop).
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere.
(Wop-wop.)
On Broadway.

They say the girls are something else,
On Broadway. (On Broadway.)
But looking at them just gives,
Me the blues. (On Broadway.)
(Ahh-oooo.)
'Cause how' ya gonna make some time,
(Ahh-oooo.)
When all you got is one thin dime?
(Wop-wop, wop-wop).
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes.
(Wop wop.)
On Broadway.

(Hah!)
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.)
(Ahh-oooo.)
But, oh, they're dead wrong, I know they are,

'Cause I can play this here guitar,
(Wop-wop, wop-wop).
And I won't quit till I'm a star.
(Wop-wop.)
On Broadway. (On Broadway.)

Instrumental break.

Oh, they're dead wrong, I know they are,
(Ahh-oooo.)
'Cause I can play this here guitar,
(Wop-wop, wop-wop).
And I won't quit till I'm a star.
(Wop-wop.)
On Broadway. (On Broadway.)
On Broadway. (On Broadway.)

I'm gonna make it, yeah. (On Broadway.).
Fade.
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.
Yeah. (On Broadway.)
Oh, up and down Broadway. (On Broadway.)
