Booked and Blessed

Booked and blessed
Oh, how I wanna be
Booked and blessed
Come on and give me your toughest test
I won’t rest
Not me

Booked and blessed
My heart is pounding inside my chest
Just for getting my lifelong quest
My investment’s paying off

You’ll say I’m unaware
This business isn’t fair
I’ll tell ya that I know and I don’t care

Booked and blessed I’ll never settle for second best
Whatever sixteen bars you request
I attest I’ll know

Booked and blessed
Soon I’ll be saying “too blessed to be stressed”
I’m head and shoulders above the rest
I’ve assessed the needs of every show so

Make me rollerskate
Or cite-read seven-eight
I’ll handle every hurdle and I can’t wait

I grew up on Into the Woods on cassette
My productions of Cats on my couch, you can bet
Were the top of the town in the Family Gazette
And I wanted to see just how good I could get

And as I found my way
Mom and Dad would say
“You’ll make it big someday
Follow your heart”
Well, hey, Mom and Dad
I’m ready to start

Booked and blessed
Oh how I’m gonna be booked and blessed
This little baby has left the nest
No midwest no more

Booked and blessed
Is that on Broadway?
That’s right, you guessed
How do I say it? Yes
Booked and blessed
So impressed when I walk out that door

I’ll stand out in a crowd
I’ll hear them cheering loud
It’s like I always found
Make that little theater kid proud

And when I’m booked
You’ll all be shook
To me they’ll look
I’ll sing my hook
Yes, when I am booked and blessed
