On Broadway Songtext

On Broadway Songtext
So, uh, what′d you say?
You'll gimme a chance?
Uh, uh, I′m sorry, no
We're booked, so
No, man (no)
Why don't you just come back in two weeks?
I′m sure you′re very good
Have you ever considered law school?
I'm sorry, we don′t any of that oova-eyun stuff in here
Ayo, no hard feelings, okay?
I'm sorry (no)
Not a chance, dude
No
No
No, I′m sorry (oh)
I don't think so
Jazz (oh, no, no, no)
We′ll call you
They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walkin′ down that street
And you ain′t had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere
They say the women treat you fine on Broadway
But lookin′ at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
One thin dime won′t even shine
Your shoes
They say that I won't last too long on Broadway
I′ll catch a Greyhound bus for home they all say
But they're did wrong, I know they are
'Cause I have earned all on my Scars
And I won′t quit till I′m a star
On Broadway
They say that I won't last too long on Broadway
I′ll catch a Greyhound bus for home they all say
But they're did wrong, I know they are
′Cause I have earned so many Scars
I won't quit ′til I'm a star
I won't quit ′til I′m a star
You'll gimme a chance?
Uh, uh, I′m sorry, no
We're booked, so
No, man (no)
Why don't you just come back in two weeks?
I′m sure you′re very good
Have you ever considered law school?
I'm sorry, we don′t any of that oova-eyun stuff in here
Ayo, no hard feelings, okay?
I'm sorry (no)
Not a chance, dude
No
No
No, I′m sorry (oh)
I don't think so
Jazz (oh, no, no, no)
We′ll call you
They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walkin′ down that street
And you ain′t had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere
They say the women treat you fine on Broadway
But lookin′ at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
One thin dime won′t even shine
Your shoes
They say that I won't last too long on Broadway
I′ll catch a Greyhound bus for home they all say
But they're did wrong, I know they are
'Cause I have earned all on my Scars
And I won′t quit till I′m a star
On Broadway
They say that I won't last too long on Broadway
I′ll catch a Greyhound bus for home they all say
But they're did wrong, I know they are
′Cause I have earned so many Scars
I won't quit ′til I'm a star
I won't quit ′til I′m a star
