Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh-oh-oh, woke up today
Feeling the way I always do
Oh-oh-oh, hungry for something that I can't eat
And I hear the beat
That rhythm of town, it starts calming 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
[Chorus]
Good morning Baltimore
Everyday's like an open door
Every night is a fantasy
It sounds like a symphony
Good morning Baltimore
And someday when I take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Baltimore and me
[Verse 2]
Oh-oh-oh, look at my hair
What do can compare with mine today?
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
[Chorus]
Good morning Baltimore
There's the flasher who lives next door
There's the bum on his bar room 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
Baltimore and me
[Bridge]
I know every step, I know every song
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
[Verse 3]
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 the groove
My mom tells me no but my feet tell me "go!"
It's like a drummer inside my heart
Oh-oh-oh, don't make me wait
One more moment for my life to start
[PreChorus]
Good morning, good morning
Waiting for my life to start
[Chorus]
I love you Baltimore
Everyday's like an open door
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
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
