They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway

They say there's always magic in the air

But when you're walking down that street

And you ain't had enough to eat

The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere

They say the women treat you right on Broadway

But looking at them just gives me the blues

'Cause how you gonna make some time

When all you got is one thin dime

And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes

They say I won't last too long on Broadway

I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say

But they're dead wrong, I know they are

'Cause I can play this guitar

And I won't quit til I'm a star on Broadway

I won't quit til I'm a star on Broadway

No, no, no, no

I won't quit til I'm a star on Broadway

Do do do do...
