BROOMSTREET
(Buck Ram / Joseph Myrow / D. Vance)

Les Brown & His Orchestra (vocal: Doris Day) - 1941


Here's a story `bout Broom Street
And a guy they called Broomstreet
When he'd walk along Broom Street
Everybody would stop to stare

Every night at eight-fifty
He'd come by with some nifty
With his love he was shifty
He had plenty to share
An' lots to spare

He wears a lot of suits from Carters
He looks so gay
When he displayed his socks and garters
They'd say, "Hey, Hey!"

But they're sad along Broom Street
Somethin' happened to Broomstreet
Gals now call it Gloom Street
Since he met this gal, Mame
Broom Street's not the same
