Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Unhappy, unhappy
Very unhappy
Unhappy, unhappy
Very, very, very, very, very, very, very unhappy
[Verse 2]
Oh, I debits all the mornin'
And I credits all the evenin'
Until them ledgers be right
Until them ledgers be right
[Verse 3]
I spend my life accounting
With figures and such (Unhappy)
To what is my amounting
It figures, not much (Unhappy)
[Verse 4]
I have a secret desire
Hiding deep in my soul
It sets my heart afire
To see me in this role
[Verse 5]
I wanna be a producer
With a hit show on Broadway
I wanna be a producer
Lunch at Sardi's every day
I wanna be a producer
Sport a top hat and a cane
I wanna be a producer
And drive those chorus girls insane
[Verse 6]
I wanna be a producer
And sleep until half past two
I wanna be a producer
And say, you, you, you, not you
I wanna be a producer
Wear a tux on opening nights
I wanna be a producer
And see my name, Leo Bloom in lights
[Verse 7]
He wants to be a producer (Sell it, girls)
Of a great big Broadway smash (Don't forget the balcony)
He wants to be a producer
Every pocket stuffed with cash
He wants to be a producer
Pinch our cheeks till we cry, ouch, eek, ooh, oh, ah yes
He wants to be a producer
With a great big casting couch
[Verse 8]
I wanna be (He wants to be)
I wanna be (He wants to be)
I wanna be the greatest, grandest
And most fabulous producer in the world
[Verse 9]
He wants to be a producer
He wants to dine with a duchess and a duke
I just gotta be a producer
Drink champagne until I puke (Drink champagne till he pukes)
I wanna be a producer
Show the world just what I've got
I'm gonna put on shows that will enthrall 'em
Read my name in Winchell's column
[Verse 10]
I wanna be a producer
'Cause its everything I'm not
[Verse 11]
Unhappy, unhappy
So unhappy
Very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very
Sad
I wanna be a producer
[Verse 12]
Hold everything
What am I doing here?
Mr. Bialystock was right
There is a lot more to me than there is to me
Stop the world, I wanna get on
[Verse 13]
Bloom, where do you think you're going?
Mr.Marks, I've got news for you, I quit
Here's my visor
My Dixon Ticonderoga number two pencil
And my big finish
[Verse 14]
I'm gonna be a producer
Sound the horn and beat the drum
I'm gonna be a producer
Look out Broadway, here I come
(Well then, here he comes)
