On Broadway Lyrics

Artist: The Drifters
Album: On Broadway

They say the neon lights are bright
On Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
On Broadway
But when you're walking down the street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off, and you're nowhere
On Broadway

They say the girls are something else
On Broadway
But looking at them just gives me the blues
On Broadway
But how're ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
Ane one thin dime won't even shine your shoes
On Broadway

They say that I won't last too long
On Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say
On Broadway
But no, no they're wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star
On Broadway

On Broadway
On Broadway
On Broadway
I'm gonn make it, yeah (On Broadway)
I'll be a big, big, big man (On Broadway)
I'll have my name in lights (On Broadway)
Everybody, everybody's gonn know me, yeah (On Broadway)
Oh, up and down Broadway (On Broadway)

Please help - wasn't there a PSA from the American Heart (or Lung) Association that featured this song with a see through model of the human body? It would have been in the late sixties - I think
