Karaoké Ah, Paris! / Broadway Baby Follies (comédie musicale)

I have seen the ruins of Rome

I've been in the iglus of Nome

I have gone to Moscow it's very gay

Well, anyway on the first of May

I have seen Rangoon and Soho and I like them more than so-so

But when there's a moon

Goodbye, Rangoon

Allô Montmartre, allô

Peking has rickshaws

New Orleans jazz

But oh, Paris

Beirut has sunshine that's all it has

But oh, Paris

Constantinople has Turkish baths and Athens that lovely debris

Carlsbad may have a spa but for ooh-la-la you come with me

Carlsbad is where you're cured after you have toured

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, Paris

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

Oh, Gee

I'd like to be on some marquee all twinkling lights

A spark to pierce the dark from Battery Park way up to Washington Heights

Someday, maybe all my dreams will be repaid

Hell, I'd even play the maid to be in a show

Say, Mister Producer, yeah

I'm talking to you, sir

I don't need a lot only what I've got plus a tube of greasepaint and a follow-spot

I'm just a Broadway Baby 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
