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!
