A Star in the Ghetto Average White Band (Ft. Ben E. King)

[Verse 1]
Broadway, you never shine a light on me
I may never live to see my name in lights on a Carnegie Hall marquee
Oh, but that's alright; Lord, that's alright with me
I'm as happy, happy as a man can be

[Pre-Chorus]
Folks in New York may never know my name
I may not win that music Hall of Fame (Music Hall of Fame)
Gonna keep on singing my song just the same
If I don't make it there, I won't be ashamed

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a star in the ghetto (I'm a star in the ghetto)
If I never make Broadway, that'll be okay (Keep on shining)
I don't care what the folks up there in New York...
(I'm a star in the ghetto)...got to say, oh no (Oh no)

[Verse 2]
Hollywood, (Hollywood) Hollywood will never be my style
But I know I'm good, oh yeah, not just alright
City lights, city lights (City lights) may never shine for me
I may never make it to the top, no, win myself a Grammy

[Pre-Chorus]
Folks in New York may never know my name
I may not win that music Hall of Fame (Music Hall of Fame)
But I'm gonna keep on singing my song, whew baby, just the same
If I never make it there I won't feel ashamed
