Mercy On Broadway

Madison smiled, and she hung with a band of strays

The band was gone, bringin' it on to the broadway blaze

Once I lived under the city, in my sweet July

July mercy on Broadway, don't you believe it?

You better know what I say, she'll make you pay

Down the alleyway, slippin' up a side street

Shine, everybody, shine, everybody, everybody, shine, everybody

On Broadway, jive and pray, there ain't no mercy now on Broadway

People and the landlords shine, downin' gay wine

In the doom swept the band away (Baby on Broadway)

Is she mild like mother and child, does she obey?

Once I lived under the city, in my sweet July

July mercy on Broadway, don't you believe it

You better know what I say, she'll make you pay

Black city fair, 'ole road runner there

Shine, everybody, everybody, everybody, shine, everybody

There'll be no mercy on Broadway, mercy on Broadway

Mercy on Broadway
