[Verse 1]
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

[Interlude]
Ooh

[Verse 2]
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?

[Outro]
Doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, mmm
