Broadway Baby Lyrics - The Essential Stephen Sondheim - Stephen Sondheim

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 Batt'ry Park to Washington Heights. 

Some day maybe, 

All my dreams will be repaid.

I can get to strut my stuff, 

Working for a nice man 

Like a Ziegfeld or a Weissman 

In a big-time Broadway show! 

Heck, I'd even play the maid 

To be in a show. 

Say, Mister producer, 

Some girls get the breaks. 

Just give me my cue, sir. 

I've got what it takes. 

Say, 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!

I'm a Broadway Baby, 

Slaving at the five and ten, 

Dreaming of the great day 

When I'll be in a show. 

Broadway Baby, 

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 all over Times Square. 

Some day maybe, 

If I stick it long enough, 

I can get to strut my stuff, 

Work-ing for a nice man 

Like a Ziegfeld or a Weissman 

In a big-time 

Broadway show!
