Bernadette Peters
Broadway Baby
I'm just a Broadway Baby
Walking off my tired feet-
Poundin’ 42nd 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
To Washington Heights

Some day, maybe
All my dreams will be repaid-
Heck, I'd even play the maid
To be in a show

Hey, Mr. Producer
I’m talking to you sir-
I don't need a lot
Only what I got
Plus a tube of grease paint
And a follow spot-
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 Weissman
In a big-time, Broadway show
