Blizzard on Broadway

[Chorus]
It’s a blizzard on Broadway
From the river to Queens
From the taxis stuck sideways
To the snowed‑in deli screens
We got joy
We got chaos
We got tourists in the fray
But the one thing we do not got
Is a working Mayor today (hey!)

[Verse 2]
Washington Square is a war zone
Snowball crossfire at noon
I just saw a yoga teacher
Take a snowball to the moon
But under these fun headlines
There’s a colder kind of show
People sleeping on the sidewalks
Under ten more inches of snow

[Chorus]
It’s a blizzard on Broadway
Check the headline crawl
“Record snow
Record selfies”
But we don’t house folks at all
We got skiers on Fifth Avenue
We got sleds in Soho gray
But the shelters shut at midnight
Then we turn and look away

[Bridge]
Cue the Mayor
Here he comes
With a shovel and a grin (camera ready)
Five minutes on the corner
Then he packs that shovel in
“Great job
Mr. Mamdani!”
Says his staff
“you saved the day!”
He cleared one tiny rectangle
Then the car drove him away

[Verse 3]
I’m just the guy on your TV
Pointing at the storm on the wall
But I can see who’s freezing
And who’s warm through it all
When I say “areas at risk”
I don’t mean just the snowdrift line
I mean people on the benches
That your office left behind

[Chorus]
It’s a blizzard on Broadway
And the wind cuts through your coat
But the budget’s wrapped in comfort
Every time they take a vote
We got funds for a nice press tent
Hot cocoa on display
But no bed
No clean blanket
For the folks you toss away

[Bridge 2]
I remember other mayors
Who were flawed in every way
But at least they walked the sidewalks
Past the cameras
Past the spray
When the city lost the power
They would stay till break of day
I can’t believe I’m saying
“I kind of miss Giuliani today” (what? I said it!)

[Chorus]
It’s a blizzard on Broadway
And the truth is plain to see
When the storm shows who is freezing
It shows who we chose to be
So to Mamdani in his parka
On his five‑minute display
Weatherman on Channel 7
Says “pick up that shovel and stay”

[Outro]
So enjoy your ski on Broadway
Throw your snowballs
Shout
“Hooray!”
But remember who is shivering
When the cameras go away
This is your cranky weatherman
From the storm zone
By the bay
“Largest blizzard in a decade
Smallest Mayor of the day”

[Verse 1] Good evening New York I’m your trusted guy in a tie Largest storm in ten years And it’s still coming from the sky Kids are skiing on Broadway Like the street turned into a slope Snowboard jumps in Central Park Under every hill Surprise—dog poop (watch your step!)
