On Broadway, on Broadway

Delight!

Remember the nights on Broadway, the lights

Remember the nights on Broadway, the lights

This is New York, New York

Ah, welcome to the Big Apple

Talking 'bout Time Square

You can feel it in the air

Call it the great white way

City lights will light the way

It's all in the secrets of success

Do you know how to express yourself

Remember the nights on Broadway, the lights

Now you're a moviestar, superstar

And the Oscar goes to: here we are!

Red carpet, paparazzi

Main target, rompicazzi

Jazz, dance, sweet romance

You got one shot, no second chance

Like a phantom of the opera

If you're "(Les) misérable(s)",

Ça finit là
