Ah, Paris! / Broadway Baby Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of Follies

Follies (Original Broadway Cast)

0

[Part I: Ah! Paris!]
[SOLANGE]
I have seen the ruins of Rome
I've been in the igloos of Nome
I have gone to Moscow
It's very gay
Well, anyway
On the first of May!
I have seen Rangoon and Soho
And I like them more than so-so
But when there's a moon
Goodbye, Rangoon
'Allo, Montmartre, 'allo!
Peking has rickshaws, New Orleans jazz
But ah! Paris!
Beirut has sunshine—that's all it has
But ah! Paris!
Constantinople has Turkish baths
And Athens that lovely debris
Carlsbad may have a spa
But for ooh-la-la
You come with me!
Carlsbad is where you're cured
After you have toured
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah! Paris!
[Part II: Broadway Baby]
[HATTIE]
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 Battery Park
Way up to Washington Heights!
Someday, maybe
All my dreams will be repaid
Hell, I'd even play the maid
To be in a show
Say, Mr. Producer
Yeah, I'm talking to you, sir
I don't need a lot
Only what I've got
Plus a tube of greasepaint and a follow-spot!
I'm just a Broadway baby
If I stick it long enough
I may get to strut my stuff
Working for a nice man
Like a Ziegfeld or a Weismann
In a great big
Broadway show!
