Im just a broadway baby Working off my tired feet Pounding forty-second street To be in a show Broadway baby A learning how to sing and dance A waiting that one big chance To be in a show Gee Id like to be On some marquee All twinkling lights A spark To pierce the dark From battery park To washington heights Some day maybe All my dreams will be re-paid Heck Id even play the maid To be in a show Hey A mister producer Im talking to you sir
I dont need a lot Only what i got Plus a tube or greese-paint And a follow spot Im just a broadway baby Slaving at the 5 and 10 Wait fir that great day when ill be ina show Broadway baby Eating at a greese spoon To save all my dough Wait that one big chance To be in a show At my flat theres just my cat A bed and a chair Still ill stick it till Im working for a nice man like a ziegfield or a wissman In a great big broadway show! --- .
