Lyrics

  1. The lights along Broadway were bright as the sun
    Just after the play had been played
    There seemed to be nothing but frolic and fun
    In all of the happy parade
    But one walked alone, on the broad street so gay
    With all of it’s pitfalls and snares
    Just a little white girl on the Great White Way
    In the city where nobody cares

Refrain
She came to the city where nobody cares
As thousands have wandered before
And it’s there she will stay, thill they lay her away
In the city where nobody cares

  1. The lights along Broadway grew dim with the dawn
    The girl saw them fade, through her tears
    She thought of the home with the little green lawn
    The home of her babyhood years
    But the street claimed it’s prey, in the same old way
    What use for her sighs or her prayers
    She’s a little white girl on the Great White Way
    In the city where nobody cares
