(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "YOU'VE LOST THAT LOVIN' FEELIN'") But then he comes uptown each evening to my tenement, uptown where folks don't have to pay much rent. THE CRYSTALS: (Singing) He gets up each morning, and he goes downtown where everyone's his boss, and he's lost in an angry land. They say there's always magic in the air on Broadway. THE DRIFTERS: (Singing) They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway, on Broadway.
