Johnny Mathis - On Broadway (From Smokey Joe's Cafe) lyrics

rate me

They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway<br />

They say there's always magic in the air<br />

But when you're walking down that street<br />

And you ain't had enough to eat<br />

The glitter rubs right off your feet and you're nowhere<br />

<br />

They say the women treat you right on Broadway<br />

But looking at them just gives me the blues<br />

'Cause how you gonna make some time<br />

When all you got is one thin dime<br />

And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes<br />

<br />

They say that I won't last too long on Broadway<br />

I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say<br />

But they're dead wrong, I know they are<br />

I may be singing in this bar<br />

But I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway<br />

<br />

They're all wrong, I know they are<br />

I may be singing in this bar<br />

But I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway<br />

<br />

They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway<br />

They say there's always magic in the air<br />

They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
