All those dreams and broken glass
Swept down the sewer with the rest of the trash
never to be seen again
Now you're makin' a home in a garbage can!
But here's a little story that I lived to tell
Hello from the gutter
Hello from our little hell
Wasted days, wasted nights,
hypnotized by the city lights!
Another king, another queen
livin' in the shadows so they can't be seen
Remember all the world lies at your feet
and the big apple's rotten
Rotten in the heat
Gutter child, sweet sixteen,
Broadway stars that have never been
All those dreams and broken glass
swept down the sewer with the rest of the trash
Well, here's a little story that we lived to tell
Hello from the gutter
Hello from our little hell
