The King of Broadway

[MAX]
I used to be the king, the king of old Broadway
The best of ev'rything was mine to have each day
I always had the biggest hits
The biggest bathrooms at the Ritz
My showgirls had the biggest tits!
I never was the pits in any way!
[HOBOS]
We believe you, thousands wouldn't
We believe you, ev'ry word
We believe you, thousands couldn't
We believe each word we've heard
[MAX]
I used to be the king...
[HOBOS, spoken]
The King!
[MAX]
The king of old Broadway...
[BLIND VIOLINIST, spoken]
It's good to be the king!
[MAX]
My praises they would sing
A Ziegfeld so they'd say
My shows were always filled with class
The best champagnes would fill my glass
My lap was filled with gorgeous ass
You couldn't call me crass in any way!
[CITIZENS]
We believe you, thousands wouldn't
We believe you, ev'ry word
We believe you, thousands couldn't
We believe each word we've heard
[MAX]
There was a time
When I was young and gay...
But straight
There was a time
When I was bold
There was a time
When each and ev'ry play I touched
Would turn to gold
[CITIZENS]
There was a time
He wore the finest clothes
His shoes were always new
Ahh!
[MAX]
Now I wear a rented tux
That's two weeks overdue!
