New York City Rhythm / On Broadway - Barry Manilow

It’s the New York city rhythm
Runnin’ through my life
The pounding beat of the city streets
That keeps my dreams alive

I’m lost, I’m found
I’m up, I’m down
But somehow I survive
It’s got to be the New York city
Rhythm in my life
In my life

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
And 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 dead wrong, I know they are
They’ll shout my name, from near and far
And I won’t quit till I’m a star

On Broadway
On Broadway
On Broadway
On Broadway
