Down Town East of Broadway 1945

Some folks dream of distant lands,
snowy mountains, coral strands,
these romances don't appeal to me.
I've no wild desire to roam,
I've a dream that's nearer home,
Nowhere else means anything to me.
I know where I long to be.

Down town east of Broadway,
sure it's home town to me,
Just a rare little square little mile,
Where you're met
all the while with a smile.
Because you're
Down town east of Broadway,
and when ever you roam,
why, before you unpack,
you're just crazy to be back,
'cos it's Home, Home, Home.

Down town east of Broadway,
sure it's home town to me,
Just a rare little square little mile,
Where you're met
all the while with a smile.
Because you're
Down town east of Broadway,
and when ever you roam,
why, before you unpack,
you're just crazy to be back,
'cos it's Home, Home, Home.

When the weary day is thro'
give me Second Avenue,
Icecream parlours,
tunes to make me dance.
Lights that blaze along the street,
small cafés where lovers meet,
that is where I'll be
if I've the chance.
Here for me,
is my romance.

Down town east of Broadway,
sure it's home town to me,
Just a rare little square little mile,
Where you're met
all the while with a smile.
Because you're
Down town east of Broadway,
and when ever you roam,
why, before you unpack,
you're just crazy to be back,
'cos it's Home, Home, Home.

Down town east of Broadway,
sure it's home town to me,
Just a rare little square little mile,
Where you're met
all the while with a smile.
Because you're
Down town east of Broadway,
and when ever you roam,
why, before you unpack,
you're just crazy to be back,
'cos it's Home, Home, Home.
