They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
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
They say the girls are something else on Broadway
But lookin' at them just gives me the blues
'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
They say that I won't last too long on Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say
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
They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But they're all wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway
Look at the neon lights
Look at the neon lights
Look at the neon lights
(Look at the neon lights)
Up and down Broadway
(Look at the neon lights)
Look at the neon lights
So bright, so bright
Look at the neon lights
Up and down Broadway
Look at the neon lights
Gonna be a star
Look at the neon
