[Lyrics from "Follies" the musical]
I'm just a Broadway baby
Walkin' off my tired feet
Pounding 42nd street
To be in a show
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 Battery 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
Say, Mr Producer
I'm talkin' to you sir
I don't need a lot, only what I got
Plus a tube of grease paint and a follow spot
I'm a Broadway baby
Slavin' at a 5 and 10
Dreamin' of the great day when
I'll be in a show
Broadway baby
Makin' rounds all afternoon
Eatin' at a greasy spoon
To save on my dough
At, my tiny of flat
There's just my cat, a bed and a chair
Still, I'll stick it 'till
I'm on the bill all over Times Square
I'm just a Broadway baby
Walkin' off my tired feet
Pounding 42nd street
To be in a show
Broadway baby
Learnin' how to sing and dance
Working for a nice man
Like a Ziegfeld or a Weissmann
In a great, big, Broadway show!
