It’s a broad way
It’s just a simple plain street
Most stylish avenue
And what it’s just a main street
But it’s home to me and to you …
It’s your Broadway and it’s my Broadway
With the music of rhythm
And the rhythm of music

When the whole world seems wrong
Just learn the words of a simple song,
Of blue skies above,
Be a troubadour and all is love.

You’ll never know if an apple is ripe, ‘til you bite it
You’ll never know if a fire is gonna burn, ‘til you light it
You’ll never know what it means to be blue, ‘til you’ve lost an old friend
You’ll never know how long is your road, ‘til you’ve reached the end.

Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo —
I’m singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feelin’
I’m happy again
I’m laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun’s in my heart
And I’m ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I’ve a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin’,
Singin’ in the rain
