G# F# G# F# G# F# G# F#
They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
G# F# G# F# G# F# G# F#
They say there's always magic in the air
C# B C# B C#
But when you're walkin' down that street
C# D D#
And you ain't had enough to eat
G# F# G# F# G# F# G# F#
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere
