Lyrics
There may be streets that have their sorrow
A tear today, a smile tomorrow
But there’s a street that lives in glory
It always tells the same old story
Chorus
Don’t bring a frown to old Broadway
You’ve got to clown on Broadway
Your troubles there are out of style
For Broadway always wears a smile
A million lights they flicker there
A million hearts beat quicker there
No skies of grey on the great White Way
That’s the Broadway Melody
