The Lights Of Broadway Lyrics > Wild Party

(Jackie and Nadine sitting on the bed.
Dressed in one of Queenie’s outfits,
Nadine, under Jackie’s tutelage, has just
Done her fist line of cocaine)

Nadine
I always wanted to see the lights of Broadway
I always wanted to hear the traffic roar
I always wanted to be a part
Of New York City’s great big heart
And now I am ‘ I couldn’t ask for more’!
Can I have some more’

(Jackie obliges)

I always wanted to jingle with the right crowd
I always wanted to feel like I belong.
I wanna feel like all the big girls do;
All bright and fizzed and special too ‘
There’s nothing wrong with that ‘
There’s nothing wrong ‘ there’s nothing wrong ‘
There’s nothing wrong with Poughkeepsie
That living in Manhattan couldn’t fix
I’m just a kid in Poughkeepsie
But here a kid can get her grown-up kicks

(she laughs)

I always wanted to see the lights of Broadway;
And I was told that if I looked to close
I might just go blind.
But little sister’s loose
And she wants her share of juice;
If the lights of Broadway blind me
I don’t mind -!
Gimme some more.

Jackie
What did you just say’

Nadine
(throughty/determined)

I want some more.
