Hairspray soundtrack – Good Morning Baltimore lyrics

[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 the town starts calling me down
It's like a message from high above
Oh, oh, oh, pulling me out
To the smiles and streets that I love

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

[TRACY (ENSEMBLE)]
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!
(Before she drops dead!)

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 that groove
My ma tells me no, but my feet tell me go!
It's like a drummer inside my heart
So, 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 someday when I take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Gonna wake up and see
Baltimore and me (Yes, more or less we all agree)
Baltimore and me (Someday the world is gonna see)
Baltimore and me!
