Lyrics
[Intro] Oh yeah [Verse 1] Well, she started out Just to be a dancer Gonna make her livin' dancin' In the Broadway shows So she hitchhiked 'cross the country From Paso Robles to the Big Red Apple Where your dreams are made Your debts must be paid on time [Verse 2] Well, she wasn't used to Livin' in the city So she took a job cleanin' up as a maid At the Gramercy Park Hotel And all her auditions They didn't turn out so pretty So she took a job dancin' At the bar down the street as well [Chorus] I'll hold you close, taxi dancer And I'll listen to how you outgrew your dreams How they faded away I'll hold you close, taxi dancer We can pretend this floor is the Broadway stage [Verse 3] Well, I don't know how long or how far Her fortune did take her But I heard she sits alone drunk In a bar downtown on Forty-Second Street And sometimes an old butch Will slip a quarter into the jukebox And she'll stagger to the bar And dance with that girl for free [Chorus] I'll hold you close, taxi dancer And I'll listen to how you outgrew your dreams How they faded away I'll hold you close, taxi dancer We can pretend this floor is the Broadway stage Oh, the stage, baby
