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 sixteen
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

Hello from the gutter
Hello from the gutter
Hello from the gutter

Hello from the gutter, hey
Hello from the gutter, hey
Hello from the gutter, hey

Welcome the the gutter
We've been expecting you

Swept down the sewer with the rest of the trash
Never to be seen again
