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
That 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
Good morning, Baltimore
Every day's like an open door (ah-ah)
Every night is a fantasy
Every sound's like a symphony
Good morning, Baltimore
And someday when I take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see (see)
Baltimore and me
♪
♪
(Ooh) oh, oh, oh, look at my hair (ooh-ooh)
What 'do can compare with mine today? (Ooh)
Oh, oh, oh, I've got my hairspray and radio
I'm ready to go
The rats on the street all dance around 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 (ah-ah)
There's the bum on his barroom stool
They wish me luck on my way to school
Good morning, Baltimore
And someday when I take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see (see)
Baltimore and me
I know every step (ooh), I know every song (ooh)
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
(Good morning, good morning)
(Waiting for my life to start)
I love you, Baltimore
Every day's like an open door (ah-ah)
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 (see)
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
