Chique Geek - Broadway's Broken

Broadway’s broken dark and chained
Neon flickers, life has drained
Stalwart hearts strain to remain
So many souls in panicked pain
Too soon a viral boundary crossed
Too soon to change at heavy cost
Too soon the bloodless holocaust
Too soon an industry is lost
Broadway’s broken but not down
This Apple’s Big but it’s our town
Pick yourself up off the ground
What’s never lost need not be found
Don’t give up stay ever strong
Don’t give up the cherished song
Don’t give up it won’t be long
Don’t give up where you belong
Our service jobs all disappear
Survival mode in desperate fear
Strive so hard to make it here
New York New York so very dear
Friends and patrons hear my plea
Great White Way’s in misery
A tenuous thread you cannot see
Snaps behind the scenes you see
Broadway’s broken but not down
This Apple’s Big but it’s our town
Pick yourself up off the ground
What’s never lost need not be found
Don’t give up stay ever strong
Don’t give up the cherished song
Don’t give up it won’t be long
Don’t give up where you belong
Social distance, Namaste
Shrink and spread the curve today
Isolate us from ourselves
Clear the disinfectant shelves
Wash your hands and sanitize
Don’t touch your nose, mouth, or eyes
Cough into your elbow not your hand
We will all get through this plan
We are all New Yorker’s man
Help Gotham’s friends, help to lead
Broadway’s dark in dismal need
Elevate our craft we plead
Art the death knell must not heed
Love for our craft, passions fire
Entertain, enrich, inspire
So much talent to expire
Support is needed, risk so dire
Broadway’s broken but not down
This Apple’s Big but it’s our town
Pick yourself up off the ground
What’s never lost need not be found
Don’t give up stay ever strong
Don’t give up the cherished song
Don’t give up it won’t be long
Don’t give up where you belong
