Lyrics
Broadway Melody Of 1974
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Echoes of the Broadway Everglades
With her mythical madonnas still walking in their shades
Lenny Bruce, declares a truce and plays his other hand
Marshall McLuhan, casual viewin, head buried in the sand
Sirens on the rooftops wailing, but theres no ship sailing
Groucho, with his movies trailing, stands alone with his punchline failing
Klu Klux Klan serve hot soul food and the band plays In the Mood
The cheerleader waves her cyanide wand
Theres a smell of peach blossom and bitter almonde
Caryl Chessman sniffs the air and leads the parade, he know in a scent
You can bottle all you made
There's Howard Hughes in blue suede shoes
Smiling at the majorettes smoking Winston Cigarettes
And as the song and dance begins
The children play at home with needles; needles and pins
