Crystals, The - On Broadway Lyrics






I hear the neon lights are bright
On Broadway
I hear that dreams come true there every day
I hear that life don't get you down
The way it gets you in this old town
I swear I'm gonna get me there
Someway

They say the girls all dress real fine
On Broadway
They say there ain't a thing that you can't buy
They say that you can be someone
And it don't matter where you come from
I swear I gotta get there or
I'll die

(Broadway)
(Broadway)
(Broadway)
(Broadway)

They say that you can be someone
And it don't matter where you come from
I swear I gotta get there or
I'll die

Swear I gotta get there or
I'll die (On Broadway)
Swear I gotta get there or (on Broadway)
I'll die (on Broadway)
Swear I gotta get there or (on Broadway)
I'll die (on Broadway)
Swear I gotta get there or (on Broadway)
I'll die (on Broadway)
Swear I gotta get there or (on Broadway)
I'll die (on Broadway)
(On Broadway)

    @belisario guerra The Cookies' studio demo version was the first artistic interpretation of the song. The Crystals' version was the first commercial release of it.
