The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- When you hear your feet
Echo in the street
When it’s late and it’s raining
And you’re thinking of the sleep you’re gonna lose
When you hang your hat
In an empty flat
And you’re feeling lonely
Then you’re getting those Broadway Blues - When your money’s gone
And your clothes are worn
Just a little bit shabby
And you find you need another pair of shoes
When your only pal
Steals away your gal
And you think of the river
Then you’re getting those Broadway blues
Chorus
When your heart is aching for the trees
When you long to hear those buzzin’ bees
And when you want to eat a cake
Just like your mammy used to bake
And you find you’ve got a wish
To hook an unsuspecting fish
When your cloud has lost it’s silver line
And the colors in your rainbow cease to shine
Pin your farewell on your door
Catch a train and don’t care where it’s leaving for
You’ve got those Broadway Blues
