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 sidestreet
 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
 Down and 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
 [Incomprehensible]
 Mercy on Broadway, mercy on Broadway
 Hey!
