Broadway Baby (Live)

Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Bernadette Peters!

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 my 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

Someday, maybe

All my dreams will be repaid

Aw heck, I'd play the maid

To be in a show

Say, Mister Producer

I'm talking to you, sir

I don't need a lot

Only what i got

Plus a tube of greasepaint and a follow-spot!

Some day, maybe

If I stick it long enough

I can get to strut my stuff

Working for a nice man

Like a Ziegfeld or a Weismann

In a big time

Broadway show!

Thank you, thank you so much. As you probably know, that song was written by Stephen Sondheim for a show called "Follies." Which I wasn't in. But–
