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!
