Act One: On Broadway

You say the neon lights are bright on Broadway

On Broadway

You say there's always magic in the air

On Broadway

But when you're walkin' down the 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 lookin' 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

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 they get wrong, I know they are

'Cause I can play this here guitar

And I won't quit till I'm a star

On Broadway

On Broadway

I won't quit till I'm a star

I won't quit till I'm a star

On Broadway

I won't quit till I'm a star

I won't quit till I'm a star

I won't quit till I'm a star

I won't quit till I'm a star

On Broadway
