Wouldn’t You Like to Be on Broadway?

[EASTER, spoken]
Why a girl like you oughta be on the stage.

[ROSE, spoken]
Well how could I get a job on the stage?

[EASTER, spoken]
Easy as walking around the block, for a girl that's got all that you've got.
(sung)
Wouldn't you like to be on Broadway
And go dancing at the Zanzibar
And have an up-and-coming boyfriend
Who can make any course in par?
Hey, kid?

Wouldn't you like to be on Broadway
And wear some Bergdorf Goodman clothes
Red alligator shoes, a bright gold anklet
And seventeen dozen nylon hose?
Hey, kid?

Wouldn't you like to see your name
Up in the bright lights, in the white lights that gleam and glow?
Wouldn't you like to be the leading lady
In my heart, but also in some Broadway show?

Wouldn't you like some personal promotion
To a niche on the Great White Way?
Wouldn't you? Hey, kid?
How about it? Hey, kid?
Wouldn't you like to be on Broadway?
It's just a few blocks over
I know the way
Hey, kid? It's easy
I'll show you the way

[ROSE, spoken]
No.

[EASTER, spoken]
Why not?

[ROSE, spoken]
I just don't think that's the way I want things to be, that's all.
