I'm just a Broadway Baby
Walking off my tired feet
Pounding Forty Second Street
To be in a show, oh
Broadway Baby
Learnin' 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 Batt'ry 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, 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
Broadway Baby
Slaving at the five and ten (Oooo, Yeah)
Dreaming of the great day when
I'll be in a show (Oh, Oh, Oh)
Hey, hey
Oh, Broadway Baby (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
All some day maybe
If I stick it long enough
I may get to strut my stuff
Working for a nice man
Like a Ziegfeld or a Weissman
In a great big Broadway show
