The Drifters - On Broadway

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 guitar
and i won't quit till i'm a star on broadway
