Lyrics and translation
Original
Broadway is the dream of a lifetime for kids of every age.
When I was little,
I'd hold my fiddle and bow as if on stage.
Broadway is also a street, and streets have a gutter, and gutters drip feet.
You could say my fiddle cracked, and there's no second act.
Get off of Broadway, that push and prod way.
Go find a little reprieve, where no tourist tugs at your sleeve.
Askin' you which way is Broadway when you're standin' on Broadway, and
Broadway's got a sign on it that he won't believe.
Get off of Broadway, that hide-your-wad way. Go safely show off your green.
Pay for drinks where you can be seen.
You'd never do that on Broadway 'cause the rats on Broadway in broad daylight will pick your pocket clean.
Just off of Broadway.
Well east of the prairie domes. They do things God's way.
Far enough from fellas hummin' all the show tunes.
Off of Broadway, the slobs applaud a mediocre melody at best.
Can't tell Richard Rodgers from the rest.
They oughta get off of Broadway, hear the downtown jazz play, and put these words of wisdom to the test.
Oh yes, young man, go west of Broadway, or east of Broadway, or off, off Broadway is best.
