Broadway Melody Lyrics
(Spoken)
Broadway, you magic street
River of humanity
I have trudged my weary feet
Down your Gay White Way
Dreaming a million dreams of fame
Yearning for you to know my name
Broadway, you have heard the story
Of a lot of tears and glory
But you always are the same
Always playin' at the game
Noisy, hurried, with your bustle
Scrambling, dizzy, full of hustle
Jazzy, silly, brassy, frilly
Broadway singing, Broadway music
That's the Broadway melody
(Song)
Don't bring a frown to old Broadway
You've gotta clown on Broadway
Your troubles there are out of style
'Cause Broadway always wears a smile
A million lights, they flicker there
A million hearts beat quicker there
No skies of grey on the Great White Way
That's the Broadway Melody
