Broadway Baby from Follies is featured in Bash, the fifteenth episode of Season Five. It is sung by Blaine and Rachel.
This song is originally intended to be a Rachel solo as one of her NYADA assignments, but Blaine begins singing with her. Because this is not what Carmen Tibideaux has requested, she fails them both and requests that they both do the assignment again, individually.
Lyrics[]
Rachel:
I'm just a Broadway Baby
Walking off my tired feet
Pounding Forty Second Street
To be in a show, oh
Blaine:
Broadway Baby
Learnin' how to sing and dance
Waiting for that one big chance
To be in a show, oh
Blaine and Rachel:
Gee, I'd like to be on some marquee
All twinkling lights
A spark to pierce the dark
From Batt'ry Park to Washington Heights
Rachel:
Some day maybe
Blaine:
All my dreams will be repaid
Rachel:
Heck, I'd even play the maid
Blaine and Rachel:
To be in a show
Rachel:
Hey, Mister producer
I'm talkin' to you, sir
I don't need a lot
Only what I got
Plus a tube of greasepaint and a follow spot
Blaine:
I'm a Broadway Baby
Rachel (Blaine):
Broadway Baby
Slaving at the five and ten (Oooo, Yeah)
Blaine (and Rachel):
(Dreaming of the great day when)
I'll be in a show (Rachel: Oh, Oh, Oh)
Hey, hey
Rachel (Blaine):
Oh, Broadway Baby (Broadway Baby)
Blaine and Rachel:
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
Blaine:
All over Times Square
Rachel:
All some day maybe
Blaine and Rachel:
If I stick it long enough
I may get to strut my stuff
Rachel:
Working for a nice man
Blaine:
Like a Ziegfeld or a Weissman
Rachel:
In a
Blaine and Rachel:
Great big Broadway show
