Tommy 'Tom' Williams , Penny Morris , Morton 'Hammy' Hammond , Jenny , Ray Lambert , Barbara Jo : [singing] We're babes on Broadway, We're goin' places, When our new faces appear, It's a wonderful street, For babes like us to be on, We're here because, We want our names in neon, We left Topeka, We left Eureka, And came to seek a career, Oh, we're milkin' applause, Instead of milkin' a cow, 'Cause we're babes on Broadway now!
