Lyrics
Broadway, broadway Everybody's happy and gay Where the night is brighter than day Up along Broadway Sweethearts and beaus Dressed up in their sunday best cloths On their way to movies and shows Up along Broadway Out of town, I'm low down When I walk along the main street Anywhere I don't care I always find a main street just another plain street Broadway Broadway Take a little time out to play Where the joy of living holds way Up along Broadway
