Broadway Boogie Woogie (From "A Class Act")

Got up at eight
did my hair,
did my face,
sang my scales
limbered up at the bar.

I grabbed a cab,
took my place in the line,
then the man said they wanted a star...

Ive got the broadway boogie woogie,
known as don't call us we'll call you!

Im much too tall,
much too short,
much too thin,
much too fat,
much to young for the role.

I sing too low,
sing too high,
sing too loud
could you read it with a little control.

I've got the broadway boogie woogie,
known as dont call us we'll call you.
(Lucy)
I know I can do real well,
all i needs a start!
If i only just the once get the part...

Still i take lessons,
go to class
study voice,
go to sleep with the cream on my face

I get turned down as a matter of course.
What would Burnheart have done in my place.

Ive got the Broadway boogie woogie
and I think i know the way the wind blows
(spoken)
Fix my nose!
Shit
(sung)
I've got the broadway boogie woogie
and if nothing turns up.
I think this show is gonna close,
still they always tell you its hard.
Maybe i'l just leave him my card!
