Forty-five Minutes from Broadway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forty-five Minutes from Broadway is the name of a musical play written and produced by George M. Cohan in 1905.
It is remembered for several songs, such as its title song, Forty-five Minutes from Broadway and for tunes about its leading lady character, Mary Is a Grand Old Name and So Long Mary, which were presented in recreations of the original stage play within the 1942 film Yankee Doodle Dandy.
- Only forty-five minutes from Broadway
- Think of the changes it brings
- For the short time it takes
- What a diff'rence it makes
- In the ways of the people and things
- Oh, what a fine bunch of reubens
- Oh, what a jay atmosphere
- They have whiskers like hay
- And imagine Broadway
- Only forty-five minutes from here
- For it is Mary; Mary
- Plain as any name can be
- But in propriety, society
- Will say, "Marie"
- But it was Mary; Mary
- Long before the fashions came
- And there is something there
- That sounds so square
- It's a grand old name
