Oh yeah
3
Well she started out, just to be a dancer
4
Gonna make her livin' dancin'
5
In the Broadway shows
6
So she hitchhiked cross the country
7
From Pasaroba to the Big Red Apple
8
Where your dreams are made
9
Your debts must be paid on time
10
Well she wasn't used to livin' in the city
11
So she took a job cleanin' up as a maid
12
At the Grammercy Park Hotel
13
And all her auditions
14
They didn't turn out so pretty
15
So she took a job dancin'
16
At the bar down the street as well
17
*I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer
18
And I'll listen to how your outgrew your dreams
19
How they faded away
20
I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer
21
We can pretend this floor is the Broadway stage
22
Well I don't know how long or how far
23
Her fortune did take her
24
But I heard she sits alone drunk
25
In a bar downtown on 42nd Street
26
And sometimes an old Butch
27
Will slip a quarter into the jukebox
28
And she'll stagger to the bar
29
And dance with that girl for free
30
(*Repeat Chorus)
31
Oh the stage, baby
