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)

(Dreaming of the great day when)

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
