lyrics

Walking down these city streets, neon shining bright
Keep pace with my shadow, hiding from the light
Pull my collar around my neck to keep away the cold
Need to rest my weary bones and find some liquid gold

Pizza joint across the street is quiet after nine
The spicy pie I just walked by is gettin' on their grind
There's a banner sellin' uniforms from a sign hung in the sky
But it's the brick built tavern right next door that caught my little eye

At 3rd and Broadway, where Poitin rules the day
At 3rd and Broadway, come listen to 'em play
The Green and Orange is waving high
And you can let your freak flag fly
So come on, come inside, at 3rd and Broadway

Sammy was a sailor girl who set course for the coast
Flower went and pulled up roots for the man she loves the most
Felix climbed into his car and raced off in the night
Kip's a few blocks north controlling everything in sight

Fonder doesn't ponder much, when whipping up your drink
Barbacks always serve your booze with an ample side of ink
The lights are low above the booths, the music's always loud
And just outside the door, the colors are always waving proud

3rd and Broadway, Frankie rules the stage
3rd and Broadway, where Tuesday's all the rage
No royalty to rule our scene
'Cept Kitty who's our favorite queen
So come on, come inside, at 3rd and Broadway

Mikey D.'s up in the Fishbowl
The bass thumps through the floor
Can't even hear myself think
So I might as well have one more

At 3rd and Broadway
At 3rd and Broadway
3rd and Broadway, check your ego at the door
At 3rd and Broadway, and the taps will always pour

Get off your ass, raise a glass, find a pretty boy or girl
You know the song so sway along and take 'em for a whirl
Get off your ass, raise a glass, find a pretty boy or girl
You know the song so sway along and take 'em for a whirl
