Broadway Baby

Broadway Baby - Elaine Paige (憶蓮·佩姬)

I'm just a broadway baby

Walking off my tired feet

Pounding forty second street

To be in a show

Broadway baby

Learning 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 battery park

To Washington heights

Someday maybe

All my dreams will be repaid

Heck

I'd even play the maid

To bc in a show

Say

Mr producer

I'm talking to you sir

I don't need a lot

Only what I got

Plus a tube of greasepaint

And a follow spot

I'm just a broadway baby

Slaving at the five and ten

Dreaming of the great day when

I'll be in a show oh

Broadway baby

Making rounds all afternoon

Eating at a greasy spoon

To save on my dough

At my tiny flat

There is just my cat

A bed and a chair

Still

I'll stick it till

I'm on a bill

All over Times Square

Someday maybe

If I stick it long enough

I can get to strut my stuff

Working for a nice man

Like a ziegfeld or a weismann

In a great big

Broadway show
