I Want to Be a Rockette

Want, want what do I want? Ever since I was a little girl there's only been one thing I want I want I want what every little red-blooded girl in America could want I want I want what I have wanted since the first day I learned how to want I wanna be a rockette I wanna dance until dawn I wanna be a rockette That's what my heart is set upon I wanna be a rockette I wanna hear the crowd roar I wanna feel the magic when they scream for more and more and more and more and I never wanted to be somebody's wife A suburban life seems a pity I never wanted to be a moviestar I always wanted to be a dancer at radio city I wanna be a rockette And it's no surprise I wanna be a rockette Oh how my foot is gonna rise I wanna be a rockette It's one thing I know And when I'm a rockette I'll never miss one show I'll show 'em I'll show 'em I'll show 'em I never wanted to be a broadway star Being famous has too many duties I never wanted to be a ballet star I always wanted to be one of those dancing dazzling beauties I'll always remember When momma brought me to New York And I first saw those girls up on that stage There was magic everywhere "Look at them momma", I said "One of these days your little girl's gonna be up there"' I'm gonna be up there I'm gonna be a rockette Let me out on that stage I'm gonna be a rockette They are the greatest dancers of our age I'm gonna be a rockette I'm gonna hear the crowd scream I'm gonna know the feeling of getting my dream And that is my dream, to know how it feels To be someone who's free to kick up her heels It's what I was meant to be You gotta take me Gotta take me Gotta take me Gotta take me Gotta take me Me
