Broadway Is My Home Sweet Home 1915

I was born on Broadway
near old Longacre Square,
And the only nurse I knew
was the crossing copper there.
My cradle was a Taxicab,
its horn my lullaby
and all these things
explain the reason
why you hear me cry.

I am a true loyal son
of dear old Broadway
I like its hustling noisy ways,
I love its white lights
adore it bright nights,
and I am crazy 'bout its sunny days.
Although I've travelled all over
this giddy old world,
I'm never satisfied wherever I roam,
to me there's no place like Broadway,
For Broadway is my home sweet home.

Ev'ry day on Broadway
when for a stroll I go,
most all the people know me,
and they all say "Hello!"
My friends all call me the "Broadway Kid"
They know it fits you see,
and then I feel like I own Broadway,
and it owns me.

I am a true loyal son
of dear old Broadway
I like its hustling noisy ways,
I love its white lights
adore it bright nights,
and I am crazy 'bout its sunny days.
Although I've travelled all over
this giddy old world,
I'm never satisfied wherever I roam,
to me there's no place like Broadway,
For Broadway is my home sweet home.
