Send My Regards To Broadway


send my regards to broadway
the drama kings & drama queens
romanced, but out of time
send my regards to broadway

the spotlight caught the headlines,
setting scenes, settings of claque'
i've been collecting scripts,
to coax the critic's quips
i am the phantom of the operation
the leading man to be
oh read my fingers, not my lips

i've got you fastened into the edge of your seats
staging roles not to forget. no only invest
Yeah, money makes the hungry wet.
we'll break the rich & cue the poor
take, take them coats, light a cigar & raise a celebatory glass
a toast to the mess of this staged show's creedence
this small talk makes for the tallest of stories
no, no the front row could be the alibi you'll need
let's meet & greet
this actress calls it art, reciting pages just to convict
it's a convincing tapestry to speak
pretty soon they'll line the streets.
So neat. So chic.
the honeymoon is over, but the love affair is still in reach
