This propulsive song was introduced on a recording by Richard Himber in 1935, though it gained much more exposure later that year when it was featured in Roy Del Ruth’s musical film Broadway Melody of 1936.
Gotta dance! Gotta dance! Gotta dance! Gotta dance !
Broadway rhythm
It's got me
Everybody dance!
Broadway rhythm
It's got me
Everybody dance!
Out on the gay white way in each merry cafe
Orchestras play, taking your breath away
(With a) Broadway rhythm
It's got me
Everybody sing and dance!
Oh that Broadway rhythm
Oh that Broadway rhythm
When I hear that happy beat
Feel like dancing down the street
To that Broadway rhythm writhing beating rhythm
Gotta dance! Gotta dance! Gotta dance! Gotta dance !
Broadway rhythm It's got me Everybody dance!
Broadway rhythm It's got me Everybody dance!
Out on the gay white way in each merry cafe
Orchestras play, taking your breath away
(With a) Broadway rhythm
It's got me!
