There may be streets That have their sorrow A smile today, a tear tomorrow But there's a street That lives in glory It always tells The same old story 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 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 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
