stephen sondheim - 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!
