I Beg Your Pardon, Dear Old Broadway |
Broadway, Broadway, I’ve a message from a friend across the foam |
From someone who loves you dearly |
Tho’he’s miles away from home |
Kind applause is not his cause |
Because I know he loves you true |
I’ll feel better when I read his letter |
Here’s the words he wrote to you: |
I beg your pardon, dear old Broadway |
For list’ning to a foreign song |
I thought I’d find a street with which you could compete |
I only found that I was wrong |
My hat’s aloft to you, old Broadway |
You’re in a class alone today |
And if I thought for a minute that the others were in it Won’t you pardon me, Broadway? |
Broadway, I too said goodbye to all the sights across the sea |
Joy! |
once more for soon I saw |
The Statue of Old Liberty! |
Hand in air, she greets you there |
To drive away all care and pain |
Joy smiles at you, while the great big statue |
Seems to say, «Never again!» |
