Lyrics
Chorus
Only forty-five minutes from Broadway
Think of the changes it brings
For the short time it takes, what a difference it makes
In the ways of the people and things
Oh! what a fine bunch of rubens
Oh! what a jay atmosphere
They have whiskers like hay, and imagine Broadway
Only forty-five minutes from here
Chorus
Only forty-five minutes from Broadway
Not a cafe in the town
Oh! the place is a bird, no one here ever heard
Of Delmonico, Rector, or Browne
With a ten dollar bill you’re a spendthrift
If you open a bottle of beer
You’re a sport so they say, and imagine Broadway
Only forty-five minutes from here
