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!
