broadway baby

i'm just a broadway baby

walking off my tired feet

pounding forty second street

to be in a show

oh

broadway baby

learnin' how to sing and dance

waiting for that one big chance

to be in a show

oh

gee

i'd like to be on some marquee

all twinkling lights

a spark to pierce the dark

from batt'ry park to washington heights

some day maybe

all my dreams will be repaid

heck

i'd even play the maid

to be in a show

hey

mister producer

i'm talkin' to you

sir

i don't need a lot

only what i got

plus a tube of greasepaint and a follow spot

i'm a broadway baby

broadway baby

slaving at the five and ten oooo

yeah)

]

i'll be in a show oh

oh

oh)

hey

hey

oh

broadway baby broadway baby)

making rounds all afternoon

eating at a greasy spoon

to save on my dough

at my tiny flat there's just my cat

a bed and a chair

still i'll stick it till

i'm on a bill

all over times square

all some day maybe

if i stick it long enough

i may get to strut my stuff

working for a nice man

like a ziegfeld or a weissman

in a

great big broadway show
