Lyrics We Could Make Such Beautiful Music Together/ Broadway Baby - Manu Lafer

We could make such beautiful music together
We could sing the loveliest music together

Sing the words
The words that I long for
Let them be the theme of our song
For we could make such beautiful music together

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 battery park
To Washington heights!

Someday, maybe
All my dreams will be repaid
Hell, I'd even play the maid
To be in a show

Say, Mr. Producer
Some girls get the breaks
Just give me my cue, sir
I've got what it takes

Say, Mr. 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!

I'm just a Broadway baby
Slaving at a 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!

Someday, maybe, If I stick it long enough
I may get to strut my stuff
Working for a nice man
Like a Ziegfeld or a Weismann
In a great big
Broadway show!
