Stephen Sondheim - Ah, Paris! / Broadway Baby lyrics

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!
