Broadway Baby Lyrics by Kim Criswell

Back to Before

0

[HATTIE]
I'm just a Broadway baby
Walking off my tired feet
Pounding Forty-second Street
To be in a show, oh
Broadway baby
Learning 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
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 talking 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
Slaving at the five-and-ten
Dreaming of the great day when
I'll be in a show, oh
Broadway baby
Making rounds all afternoon
Eating at a greasy spoon
To save on my dough, oh
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 can get to strut my stuff
Working for a nice man
Like a Ziegfeld or a Weismann
In a big time
Broadway show!
