Broadway Melody Of 1974

Echoes of the Broadway Everglades With her mythical Madonnas still walking in their shades Lenny Bruce, declares a truce and plays his other hand Marshall McLuhan, casual viewin', head buried in the sand Sirens on the rooftops wailing, but there's no ship sailing Groucho, with his movies trailing, stands alone with his punchline failing Ku Klux Klan serve hot soul food And the band plays 'In the Mood' The cheerleader waves her cyanide wand There's a smell of peach blossom and bitter almond Caryl Chessman sniffs the air and leads the parade He know in a scent uou can bottle all you made There's Howard Hughes in blue suede shoes Smiling at the majorettes, smoking Winston cigarettes And as the song and dance begins The children play at home With needles, needles and pins --- Broadway Melody of 1974 - Genesis
