(It’s Helen Sinclair!)
There’s broken-hearted husbands, there’s broken-hearted wives
There’s broken-hearted sweethearts who must now lead double-lives
And there’s the boy and girl who thought twas’ right to take a chance
And they all must pay the fiddler if they dance, dance, dance…
(Helen Sinclair, Helen Sinclair!)
There’s a broken heart for every light on Broadway
(Helen Sinclair!)
A million tears for every gleam, they say
(It’s Helen Sinclair!)
But if you have the fire, that bottomless desire
That always yearning, fiercely churning, stomach turning need,
I’t’s guaranteed, you’ll succeed
(It sounds so beautiful!)
So will you come to battle?
(Yes!)
With critics and their prattle?
(Yes!)
Will you join in Apollo’s rendevous?
(I have no idea what that means!)
Than you will join the greats on old Broadway
(I will join the greats on old Broadway!)
Then we will join the greats on old Broadway!
