Swept down the sewer with the rest of the trash
Never to be seen again
Now you're makin' a home in a garbage can!
But here's a little story that I lived to tell
Hello from the gutter!
Hello from our little hell...!
Wasted days, wasted nights
Hypnotized by the city lights!
Another king, another queen
Livin' in the shadows so they can't be seen!
Remember, all the world lies at your feet
And the Big Apple's rotten
Rotten in the heat
Hello! Hello!
Hello from the gutter
Hello! Hello!
Hello from the gutter!
Hello! Hello!
Hello from the gutter
Hello! Hello!
Hello from the gutter!
Gutter child, sweet 16
Broadway stars that have never been!
All those dreams and broken glass
Swept down the sewer with the rest of the trash
Well, here's a little story that we lived to tell
Hello from the gutter!
Hello from our little hell...!
Welcome to the gutter
We've been expecting you!
