American Old Time Song Lyrics: 03 Walking Down Broadway
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 3
WALKING DOWN BROADWAY
As sung by Wm. Horace Lingard.
The sweetest thing in life,
And no one dare say nay,
On a Saturday afternoon,
Is walking down Broadway;
My sisters through the Park,
And at Long Branch wish to stay,
But I prefer to walk
Down the festive, gay Broadway.
Chorus.
Walking down Broadway,
The festive, gay Broadway,
The O. K. thing on Saturday
Is walking down Broadway.
Last Wednesday afternoon,
My cousin Will did say:
"Nellie, come along with me,
I'll take you down Broadway-
To the Theater Comique,
To see Captain Jinks so gay,
Then we'll dine at Delmonico's
'Fore returning down Broadway."
Spoken- And I must say, ladies and gentlemen, with all due
deference to other pleasures in life, there's nothing so charming
as- Chorus
