All Alone On Broadway 1912

Gaze on all those dazzling lights,
Those tall buildings, pretty sights,
That's where thousands spend their nights
I mean down on Broadway.
A stranger passes old Times Square,
And all the merry throng are there,
but they don't look at him or stare,
He's just one of old Broadway.

You're all alone on Broadway,
the worst place on earth to be,
Folks pass you by
like a cloud in the sky,
no one says pal,
are you hungry or dry.
Just like some dust on the side walk,
They never glance your way.
Take it from me,
I'd much rather be,
in any small town
I'm good company,
that to be all alone,
where hearts are stone,
on blasé Broadway.

All alone on Broadway,
the worst place on earth to be,
Folks pass you by
like a cloud in the sky,
no one says pal,
are you hungry or dry.
Just like some dust on the side walk,
They never glance your way.
Take it from me,
I'd much rather be,
in any small town
I'm good company,
that to be all alone,
where hearts are stone,
on blasé Broadway.

If you come from Kankakee,
You're ambitious as can be,
Just you take a tip from me
stay away from Broadway.
Humble as your town may seem,
To get back will be your dream,
When dame fortune doesn't beam,
and you find to your dismay.

You're all alone on Broadway,
the worst place on earth to be,
Folks pass you by
like a cloud in the sky,
no one says pal,
are you hungry or dry.
Just like some dust on the side walk,
They never glance your way.
Take it from me,
I'd much rather be,
in any small town
I'm good company,
that to be all alone,
where hearts are stone,
on blasé Broadway.

All alone on Broadway,
the worst place on earth to be,
Folks pass you by
like a cloud in the sky,
no one says pal,
are you hungry or dry.
Just like some dust on the side walk,
They never glance your way.
Take it from me,
I'd much rather be,
in any small town
I'm good company,
that to be all alone,
where hearts are stone,
on blasé Broadway.
