Marc Shaiman - Good Morning Baltimore lyrics

[Verse 1: TRACY] Oh, oh, oh, woke up today Feeling the way I always do Oh, oh, oh, hungry for something that I can't eat Then I hear that beat That rhythm of town starts calling me down It's like a message from high above Oh, oh, oh, pulling me out To the smiles and the streets that I love [Chorus 1: TRACY] Good morning Baltimore Every day's like an open door Every night is a fantasy Every sound's like a symphony Good morning Baltimore And some day when I take to the floor The world's gonna wake up and see Baltimore and me [Verse 2: TRACY] Oh, oh, oh, look at my hair What 'do can compare with mine today? Oh, oh, oh, I've got my hairspray and radio I'm ready to go The rats on the street all dance 'round my feet They seem to say, "Tracy, it's up to you" So, oh, oh, don't hold me back Cause today all my dreams will come true [Chorus 2: TRACY] Good morning Baltimore There's the flasher who lives next door There's the bum on his bar room stool They wish me luck on my way to school Good morning Baltimore And some day when I take to the floor The world's gonna wake up and see Baltimore and me [Bridge: TRACY (ENSEMBLE)] I know every step, I know every song I know there's a place where I belong I see all those party lights shining ahead So someone invite me before I drop dead! (Before she drops dead!) [Verse 3: TRACY] So, oh, oh, give me a chance Cause when I start to dance, I'm a movie star Oh, oh, oh, something inside of me makes me move When I hear that groove My ma tells me no, but my feet tell me go! It's like a drummer inside my heart So, oh, oh, don't make me wait One more moment for my life to start... [Refrain: ENSEMBLE] Good morning, good morning Waiting for my life to start [Chorus 3: TRACY (ENSEMBLE)] I love you Baltimore Every day's like an open door Every night is a fantasy Every sound's like a symphony And I promise Baltimore That some day when I take to the floor The world's gonna wake up and see Gonna wake up and see Baltimore and me (Yes, more or less we all agree) Baltimore and me (Someday the world is gonna see) Baltimore and me!
