YOUNG PETER: I'll dance I'll sing I'll do anything Just to get my name in lights I've got to try to hit the heights Now that I'm free as the breeze again Old nimble knees again
And soon they'll all know my name I'll have fortune and fame When I get my name in lights It can happen overnight in these modern times
So hold that front page This boy was born to strut the stage I tap and sing and play the pianuh Splash my name across a big bright bannuh
And that's why I won't let go til I'm on the radio And when they come to see the sights That will be my name spelt right Lighting up Times Square
I'll sit on a flag pole Whatever's the rage Just to get my picture on the front page Just to get my name in lights
ALL: So hold the front page This boy was born to strut the stage
YOUNG PETER: I tap and sing and play piannuh
ALL: Splash his (my) name 'Cross a big bright bannah
