Is she mild like mother and child?
Mercy on Broadway, mercy on Broadway
Bringin' it on to the broadway blaze
In the doom swept the band away
On Broadway, jive and pray
She'll make you pay
Down and gay wine
There'll be no mercy on Broadway
Shine everybody, shine everybody
Does she obey?
Shine everybody
Once I lived under the city in my sweet July
Don't you believe it
Black city fair
She'll make you pay
Once I lived under the city in my sweet July
July mercy on Broadway
Ole road runner there
You better know what I say
Down the alleyway, slippin' up a sidestreet
Baby on Broadway
(Everybody, everybody)
People and the landlords shine
Shine everybody
July mercy on Broadway
[Incomprehensible]
Don't you believe it
There ain't no mercy now on Broadway
You better know what I say
Everybody, shine everybody
