The Roar Of Broadway 1922

Hello chappy
I'm not happy
out in this woolly west.
The air is wholesome
but I'm dolesome
my mind is not at rest.
I sit and brood in solitude
there's a longing within my breast,
to be imbued by the multitude
of Broadway's very best.

If I could only hear the roar
of that dear old Broadway once more
Like a bird I wish I could soar.
Back to the place that I adore,
Happy, I'd be, for ever more
as I was in the days of yore.
If I could only hear the roar
of that dear old Broadway once more.

If I could only hear the roar
of that dear old Broadway once more
Like a bird I wish I could soar.
Back to the place that I adore,
Happy, I'd be, for ever more
as I was in the days of yore.
If I could only hear the roar
of that dear old Broadway once more.

I would plod way
back to Broadway
back to old New York Town.
Where nights are brighter
hearts beat lighter
you never see a frown.
To get a chance
for one more glance
at this white way of great renown.
Without a moan
I'd give all I own
I'd gladly give a crown.

If I could only hear the roar
of that dear old Broadway once more
Like a bird I wish I could soar.
Back to the place that I adore,
Happy, I'd be, for ever more
as I was in the days of yore.
If I could only hear the roar
of that dear old Broadway once more.

If I could only hear the roar
of that dear old Broadway once more
Like a bird I wish I could soar.
Back to the place that I adore,
Happy, I'd be, for ever more
as I was in the days of yore.
If I could only hear the roar
of that dear old Broadway once more.
