Act I - Good Morning, Baltimore! (Marissa Jaret Winokur/Company)
TRACY Oh, oh, oh Woke up today Feeling the way i always do Oh, oh, oh Hungry for something That i can't eat Then i hear that beat The rhythm of town Starts calling me down It's like a message from High above Oh, oh, oh Pulling me out To the smiles and the Streets that i love
TRACY (& ENSEMBLE) Good morning Baltimore Every day's like an open door Every night is a fantasy Every sound's like a symphony
Good morning Baltimore And some day when i take to the floor The world's gonna wake up and see Baltimore and me
Oh, oh, oh Look at my hair What "do" can compare with mine today? Oh, oh, oh, I've got my hairspray and radio I'm ready to go
The rats on the street All dance round my feet They seem to say "Tracy, it's up to you" So, oh, oh Don't hold me back 'Cause today all my dreams will come true
Good morning Baltimore There's the flasher who lives next door There's the bum on his bar room stool They wish me luck on my way to school
Good morning Baltimore And some day when i take to the floor The world's gonna wake up and see Baltimore and me
I know every step I know every song I know there's a place where i belong I see all those party lights shining ahead So someone invite me Before i drop dead!
ENSEMBLE Before she drops dead!
TRACY (& ENSEMBLE) So, Oh, Oh
Give me a chance 'Cause when i start to dance i'm a movie star Oh, oh, oh Something inside of me makes me move When i hear the groove
My ma tells me no But my feet tell me go! It's like a drummer inside my heart Oh, oh, oh Don't make me wait One more moment for my life to start...
ENSEMBLE Good morning, good morning Waiting for my life to start
TRACY (& ENSEMBLE) I love you Baltimore Every day's like an open door Every night is a fantasy Every sound's like a symphony
And i promise Baltimore That some day when I take to the floor The world's gonna wake up and see Gonna wake up and see Baltimore and me...
