Stephen Sondheim
Broadway Baby
[RACHEL]
I'm just a Broadway Baby
Walking off my tired feet
Pounding Forty Second Street
To be in a show, oh
[BLAINE]
Broadway Baby
Learnin' how to sing and dance
Waiting for that one big chance
To be in a show, oh
[BLAINE & RACHEL]
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
[RACHEL]
Some day maybe
[BLAINE]
All my dreams will be repaid
[RACHEL]
Heck, I'd even play the maid
[BLAINE & RACHEL]
To be in a show
[RACHEL]
Hey, 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
[BLAINE]
I'm a Broadway Baby
[RACHEL & (BLAINE)]
Broadway Baby
Slaving at the five and ten (Oooo, Yeah)
[BLAINE & (RACHEL)]
(Dreaming of the great day when)
I'll be in a show (Oh, Oh, Oh)
Hey, hey
[RACHEL & (BLAINE)]
Oh, Broadway Baby (Broadway Baby)
[BLAINE & RACHEL]
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
[BLAINE]
All over Times Square
[RACHEL]
All some day maybe
[BLAINE & RACHEL]
If I stick it long enough
I may get to strut my stuff
[RACHEL]
Working for a nice man
[BLAINE]
Like a Ziegfeld or a Weissman
[RACHEL]
In a
[BLAINE & RACHEL]
Great big Broadway show
