Broadway Baby Songtext
von Julia McKenzie

I′m just a Broadway baby
Walkin' off my tired feet
Poundin′ Forty-Second Street
To be in a show

Broadway baby
Learnin' how to sing and dance
Waitin' for that one big chance
To be in a show

Gee, I′d like to be
On some marquee
All twinklin′ lights
A spark to pierce the dark
From Battery Park
Way up to Washington Heights

Someday, maybe
All my dreams will be repaid
Heck, I'd even play the maid
To be in a show


Say, Mr. 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 just a Broadway baby
Slavin′ at the Five and Ten
Dreamin' of the great day when
I'll be in a show

Broadway baby
Making rounds all afternoon
Eatin′ 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


Someday, maybe
If I stick it long enough
I may get to strut my stuff
Workin' for a nice man
Like a Ziegfield or a Weissman
In a big-time Broadway show!
