Ah! Paris, Broadway Baby

[SOLANGE]
I have seen the ruins of Rome
I've been in the igloos 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--
Hello. Montmartre hello!

Peking has rickshaws New Orleans jazz.
But ah! Paree!
Beirut has sunshine -- that's all it has

But ah! Paree!
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
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! Paree!

[HATTIE]
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
To Washington Heights.

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

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
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!
