New York songs

one of my good friends found out she just got accepted at NYU for the fall, so she's moving away

i thought i would make her the 21st century version of a mix tape, a mix CD that she can download to her iPod and think of me everytime it plays.

the theme is songs about new york (musical theatre is best, but others are swell too). suggestions greatly appreciated.

so far i've got:
- "new york, new york" (kander and ebb)
- "new york, new york" (on the town - bernstein)
- "only in new york" (millie)
- "42nd street" (42nd street)
- "new york state of mind" (billy joel)
- "broadway baby" (sondheim)
- "west end avenue" (schwartz)
- "christopher street" (bernstein)
- "conquering new york" (bernstein) - instr.
- "take me back to manhattan" (cole porter)
- "slaughter on 10th ave" (hart) - instr.
- "give my regards to bway" (cohan)
- "45 minutes from bway" (cohan)
- "another hundred people" (sondheim)
- "best that you can do" (peter allen)

CJR, you beat me to it - On Broadway. But I have the lyrics:

They say the neon lights are bright
On Broadway, on Broadway.
They say there's always magic in the air.
But when you're walking down that street,
And you ain't had enough to eat.
The glitter's all washed off,
And you're nowhere.

They say the girls are something else
On Broadway, on broadway.
But looking at them just gives me the blues.
'Cause how you gonna make some time,
When all you got is one thin dime?
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes.

They say that I won't last too long
On Broadway, on Broadway.
I'll catch a Greyhound bus, they all say.
Oh, they're dead wrong! I know they are,
'cause I can play this here guitar.
And I won't quit 'till I'm a star
On Broadway, on Broadway.
