Broadway Melody of 1974

[00:00.17] Echoes of the Broadway Everglades
[00:06.20] With their mythical madonnas
[00:09.79] Still walking in their shades
[00:13.70] Lenny Bruce declares a truce
[00:16.82] And plays his other hand
[00:20.14] Marshall McLuhan, casual viewing
[00:23.49] Head buried in the sand
[00:27.16] Sirens on the rooftops wailing
[00:30.94] But there's no ships sailing
[00:34.10] Groucho, with his movies trailing
[00:37.69] Stands alone with his punchline failing
[00:44.63] Ku Klux Klan serve hot soul food
[00:47.98] And the band plays "In the Mood"
[00:51.56] The cheerleader waves her cyanide wand
[00:54.92] There's a smell of peach blossom and bitter almond
[00:58.52] Caryl Chessman sniffs the air
[01:01.92] And leads the parade
[01:05.20] He knows, in a scent
[01:07.77] You can bottle what you made
[01:11.65] There's Howard Hughes in blue suede shoes
[01:15.64] Smiling at the Majorette, smoking Winston cigarettes
[01:22.12] And as the song and dance begins
[01:25.96] The children play at home
[01:29.30] With needles
[01:32.18] Needles and pins
[01:34.46]
