It's Moonlight All The Time On Broadway 1908

Just a little while ago
I came here to live you know,
from a little country place
I thought was fine.
Now I'm very glad I came,
country life is pretty tame,
it's only lively there in summer time.
When the moon was shining bright
we'd go boating ev'ry night,
have moonlight picnics
all along the shore.
But when winter time came 'round
then you'd never hear a sound,
I never want to go back any more.

For it's moonlight all the time on Broadway,
ev'ry night the sky is clear,
you can always see a lot of stars on Broadway,
ev'ry evening they appear,
you can't go boating down old Broadway,
but taxi cabs are just as fine,
it's moonlight all the time on dear old Boadway,
and ev'ry night is Summer time.

For it's moonlight all the time on Broadway,
ev'ry night the sky is clear,
you can always see a lot of stars on Broadway,
ev'ry evening they appear,
you can't go boating down old Broadway,
but taxi cabs are just as fine,
it's moonlight all the time on dear old Boadway,
and ev'ry night is Summer time.

It's the greatest street to see
and it sure agrees with me,
for on Broadway there's a picnic every night.
It's a hearty place you bet,
ev'ry chorus girl I met,
seemed to have an awful appetite.
And the folks you meet each day
they have such a touching way,
in just about a week they had me broke.
Ev'ry city in the land
may have streets that's simply grand,
but when compared to Broadway
they're a joke.

For it's moonlight all the time on Broadway,
ev'ry night the sky is clear,
you can always see a lot of stars on Broadway,
ev'ry evening they appear,
you can't go boating down old Broadway,
but taxi cabs are just as fine,
it's moonlight all the time on dear old Boadway,
and ev'ry night is Summer time.

For it's moonlight all the time on Broadway,
ev'ry night the sky is clear,
you can always see a lot of stars on Broadway,
ev'ry evening they appear,
you can't go boating down old Broadway,
but taxi cabs are just as fine,
it's moonlight all the time on dear old Boadway,
and ev'ry night is Summer time.
