Broadway Baby

I’m just a Broadway baby
walkin' on my tired feet
poundin 42nd street
to be in a show
broadway baby
learnin how to sing and dance
waitin' for my one big chance
to be in a show
Gee, I’d 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 repaid
heck I’d even play the maid
to be in a show
Hey, Mr. producer
I’m talkin' to you sir
I don’t need a lot
only what I’ve got
Plus a tube of greasepaint and a follow spot
some day maybe
If I stick it long enough
I can get to strut my stuff
Working for a nice man
Like a Ziegfeld or a Weissman
in a big time Broadway show
