Tekst piosenki
Due to landscape gardeners gifted
Knickerbocker spaces are being lifted
So much
That you hardly know it as such
All the streets are being dressed up
So before they ruin Broadway, I suggest that
You go
To the city fathers and say, «Whoa!»
Glorify Sixth Avenue
And put bathrooms in the zoo
But please don’t monkey with Broadway
Put big floodlights in the park
And put Harlem in the dark
But please don’t monkey with Broadway
Though it’s tawdry and plain
It’s a lovely old lane
Full of landmarks galore and memories gay
So move Grant’s Tomb to Union Square
And put Brooklyn anywhere
But please, please, I beg on my knees don’t monkey with old Broadway
Plant trees in the Polo Grounds
And put Yorkville out of bounds
But please don’t monkey with Broadway
Close the Village honkytonks
And suppress cheering in the Bronx
But please don’t monkey with Broadway
Think what names used to dance
On this road of romance
Think what stars used to stroll along it all day
Make City Hall a skating rink
And push Wall Street in the drink
But please, please, I beg on my knees don’t monkey with old Broadway
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
Ze względu na uzdolnienia ogrodników krajobrazowych
Knickerbocker spaces are being lifting
Tak bardzo.
Że ledwo go znasz.

Więc zanim zrujnują Broadway, sugeruję,
Idź.
Do ojców miasta i powiedzieć, " Whoa!»
Glorify Sixth Avenue
I umieścić łazienki w zoo
But please don ' t monkey with Broadway
Put big floodlights in the park
And put Harlem in the dark
But please don ' t monkey with Broadway
Choć jest tawdry i zwykły
To piękna, stara uliczka.

Więc przenieś Grób Granta na Union Square.
# And put Brooklyn anywhere #
Ale proszę, proszę, błagam na kolanach, nie zabawiaj się ze starym Broadwayem.
Sadzenie drzew na terenie Polo
I wypuścić Yorkville poza granice
But please don ' t monkey with Broadway
Close the village honkytonks
I stłumić doping w Bronksie
But please don ' t monkey with Broadway
Think what names used to dance
On this road of romance
Pomyśl jakie gwiazdy spacerowały nim cały dzień
Zrób z Ratusza lodowisko
I popchnąć Wall Street w drinku
Ale proszę, proszę, błagam na kolanach, nie zabawiaj się ze starym Broadwayem.
