Broadway Boogie Woogie

Got up at eight
 Did my hair, did my face
 Sang my scales, limbered up at the barre
 I grabbed a cab, took my place in the line
 Then the man said they wanted a star
 I've got the Broadway boogie woogie
 Known as "don't call us, we'll call you"
 I'm much too tall, much too short, much too thin
 Much too fat, much too young for the role
 I sing too low, sing too high, sing too loud
 Could you read it with a little control?
 I got the Broadway boogie woogie
 Known as "don't call us, we'll call you"
 Okay, Luce, let me see you! Let me see you dance!
 No, you know I can't, Michael!
 Well, come on! I made Hepburn look good in Coco!
 I know I can do real well
 All I need's a start
 If I'd only just this 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 Bernhardt have done in my place?
 I've got the Broadway boogie woogie
 And I think I know the way the wind blows
 Fix my nose? Shit
 I've got the Broadway boogie woogie
 And if nothin' turns up
 I think this show is gonna close
 Still, they always tell you it's hard
 Maybe I'll just leave him my card
