Where I Wanna Be lyrics

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

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Let me hear some Louis Armstrong licks
Basie boogie in the mix
Fab Cab Calloway for kicks
And leave some room for mе
I said, leave some room for mе
[Chorus]
(Betty/Ensemble)
Play that big, fat E-flat
And make my heart go—
Bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam

[Verse 3]
Someone's playin'
My song here
Tellin' me I belong here
Nothin' 'bout it
Feels wrong here
I'm where I wanna be

[Chorus]
I'm where I wanna be!
I'm where I wanna be!

[Verse 4]
Like the way you ride the percussion
Slide in where the saxophone is
Goodness, Dwayne, you gotta stop gushin'
Now I'm blushin', oh gee whiz!

[Bridge]
It's like a
Trip to the moon
Except a thousand
Times better
This girl may swoon
And if she does
I say let her
[Verse 5]
Everything I've seen today is singin'
Welcome kid, you're H-O-M-E, home

[Verse 6]
Guess my goose has been
Cooked now
Irreversibly
Hooked now
'Cause the last time
I looked now
I'm where I wanna be

[Outro]
Keep your Cannes
And Miamis
L.A.'s, Oscars, and Grammys
Start unpackin'
My jammys
I'm where I wanna be

[Final Chorus]
I'm where I wanna be
I'm where
I
Wanna
Be
I'm where I wanna be
