#9 in '63.

#1.
                          
They say the neon lights are bright
             
on Broadway. (OBW)
                                    
They say there's always magic in the air,
       
on Broadway.
                              
But when you're walking down the street,
                         
and you ain't had enough to eat. 
                                         
The glitter rubs right off, and you're nowhere.
       
on Broadway.
#2.
                                                
They say the girls are something else, on Broadway. (OBW)
                                               
But looking at them just gives me the blues. On Broadway.
                         
How are you gonna make some time,
                          
when all you got is one thin dime?
                                                
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes, on Broadway.
#3. 
                                              
They say that I won't last too long, on Broadway. (OBW)
                                         
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say,
       
on Broadway.
                                    
But, Lord, they're 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,(x3) 
ADD:
                                
I'm gonna make it, yeah, (On Broadway) 
                                   
I'll be a big, big, man, (On Broadway)
                                   
I'll have my name in lights. (On Broadway) 
                                                  
Everybody, everybody's gonna know me, yeah! (On Broadway) 
                                
Oh, up and down Broadway, (On Broadway)
