Thanks be to the Minimum Wage Hike

They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air

But when you're walkin' down that street
And you ain't had enough to eat

The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere

They say the girls are something else on Broadway
But looking at them just gives me the blues

'Cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime?
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes

Ha! They say that I won't last too long on Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say

But oh! They're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway

Oh, they're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar

And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway (on Broadway)
On Broadway (on Broadway)

-Cynthia Weil, Barry Mann, Leiber & Stoller
