Broadway Baby (Live)

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

Gee I'd like to be on some marquee

All twinkling lights

A spark to pierce the dark

From Batt'ry Park to Washington Heights

Some day maybe

All my dreams will be repaid

I can get to strut my stuff

Working for a nice man

Like a Ziegfeld or a Weissman

In a big time Broadway show

Heck I'd even play the maid

To be in a show

Say Mister producer

Some girls get the breaks

Just give me my cue sir

I've got what it takes

Say Mister Producer

I'm talkin' to you sir

I don't need a lot

Only what I got

Plus a tube of greasepaint and a follow spot

I'm a Broadway Baby

Slaving at the five and ten

Dreaming of the great day

When I'll be in a show

Broadway Baby

Making rounds all afternoon

Eating at a greasy spoon

To save on my dough

At my tiny flat there's just my cat

A bed and a chair

Still I'll stick it till

I'm on a bill all over Times Square

Some day maybe

If I stick it long enough

I can get to strut my stuff

Work ing for a nice man

Like a Ziegfeld or a Weissman

In a big time

Broadway show
