Where I Wanna Be lyrics

[BETTY]
Okay, fellas
Key of G
Wait! You're saying
"Who is she?"
Hey there, New York town
Put your ears on
And let's burn this bandstand down!

As you know, I'm not from here
Local legend, like some here
Yeah, but now that I've come here
It's where I wanna be!

Love that music you're playin'
Got me stompin' and swayin'
Y'all can go but I'm stayin'
It's where I wanna be

Lemme hear some Louis Armstrong licks
Basie boogie in the mix
Fats, Cab Calloway for kicks
And leave some room for mе
I said "leave some room for mе"

[BETTY, ENSEMBLE]
Play that
Big, fat E flat
And make my heart go
Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam
[BETTY]
Someone's playin' my song here
Tellin' me I belong here
Nothin' 'bout it feels wrong here, I'm

[BETTY, ENSEMBLE]
Where I wanna be! (Yeah!)
I'm where I wanna be! (Yeah!)
I'm where I wanna be! (Yeah! Yeah!)

[DWAYNE]
Love the way you ride that percussion
Sliding when the saxophone hits

[BETTY]
Goodness Dwayne, you gotta stop gushin'
Now I'm blushin'
Oh, gee whiz!

[BETTY, ENSEMBLE]
It's like a trip to the moon (Trip to the moon)
Except a thousand times better
This girl may swoon (It's gonna swoon)
And if she does, I say "let her"

[BETTY]
Everything I've seen today is singin'
[BETTY, ENSEMBLE]
Welcome kid, you're H-O-M-E
Home!

(Jazz scat & trumpet solo break)

[BETTY]
Guess my goose has been cooked now
Irreversibly hooked now
'Cause the last time I looked now, I'm

[BETTY, ENSEMBLE]
Where I wanna be!

[BETTY]
Keep your Cannes and Miamis
LA's Oscars and Grammys
Start unpackin' my jammies, I'm

[BETTY, ENSEMBLE]
Where I wanna be!
I'm where I wanna be!

[BETTY]
I'm where... I... wanna... be!
[ENSEMBLE]
That's Betty!
That's Betty!
That's Betty!
That's Betty Boop! Here on the stage!

[BETTY]
I'm where I wanna be!
