Where I Wanna Be

Okay, fellas, Key of G

Wait! You're sayin', "Who is she?"

Hey there, New York town!

Put your ears on

And let's burn this bandstand down!

As you know, I'm not from here

Local legend, like some here

Yeah, but now that I've come here

It's where I wanna be

Love that music you're playin'

Got me stompin' and swayin'

Y'all can go, but I'm stayin'

It's where I wanna be

Let me hear some Louis Armstrong licks

Basie boogie in the mix

Fab Cab Calloway for kicks

And leave some room for me

I said, leave some room for me

Play that big, fat E-flat

And make my heart go

Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam

Someone's playin' my song here

Tellin' me I belong here

Nothin' 'bout it feels wrong here

I'm where I wanna be

I'm where I wanna be!

I'm where I wanna be!

(Like the way you ride the percussion)

(Slide in where the saxophone is)

Goodness, Dwayne, you gotta stop gushin'

Now I'm blushin', oh gee, whiz!

It's like a trip to the moon

Except a thousand times better

This girl may swoon and if she does, I say let her

Everythin' I've seen today is singin'

Welcome kid, you're H-O-M-E, home

Guess my goose has been cooked now

Irreversibly hooked now

'Cause the last time I looked now

I'm where I wanna be

Keep your Cannes and Miamis

L.A.'s, Oscars, and Grammys

Start unpackin' my jammies

I'm where I wanna be

I'm where I wanna be

I'm where I wanna be

I'm where I wanna be
