[Verse 1]
I'm just a Broadway baby
Walkin' off my tired feet
Pounding Forty-second Street
To be in a show, oh
Broadway baby
Learnin' how to sing and dance
Waitin' for my one big chance
To be in a show, oh
Gee
I'd like to be
On some marquee
All twinklin' lights
A spark
To pierce the dark
From Battery Park
To Washington Heights
Someday, maybe
All my dreams will be repaid
Heck, I'd even play the maid
To be in a show

[Bridge]
Say, Mr. 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!
[Verse 2]
I'm a Broadway baby
Slavin' at the five-and-ten
Dreamin' of the great day when
I'll be in a show, oh
Broadway baby
Makin' rounds all afternoon
Eatin' at a greasy spoon
To save on my dough, oh
At
My tiny flat
Therе's just my cat
A bed and a chair
Still
I'll stick it till
I'm on the bill
All over Timеs Square
Someday, maybe
If I stick it long enough
I can get to strut my stuff
Workin' for a nice man
Like a Ziegfeld or a Weismann
In a great big
Broadway show!
