I Wanna Be A Producer

Music by Mel Brooks
Lyrics by Mel Brooks
Performed by Matthew Broderick and Ensemble


Accountants
Unhappy, unhappy, very unhappy
Unhappy, unhappy
Very very very very very very very unhappy
Unhappy, unhappy
Very very very very very very very unhappy

I have a secret desire
Hiding deep in my soul
It sets my heart afire
To see me in this role

I wanna be a producer
With a hit show on Broadway
I wanna be a producer
Lunch at Sardi's every day
I wanna be a producer
Sport a top hat and a cane
I wanna be a producer
And drive those chorus girls insane!

I wanna be a producer
And sleep until half-past two
I wanna be a producer
And say, "You, you, you... not you"
I wanna be a producer
Wear a tux on op'ning nights!
I wanna be a producer
And see my name "Leo Bloom" in lights!

Chorus girls
He wants to be a producer
Of a great big Broadway smash
He wants to be a producer
Ev'ry pocket stuffed with cash
He wants to be a producer
Pinch our cheeks 'til we cry
Ouch! Eek! Ooh! Oh! Ahh! Yes!
He wants to be a producer
With a great big casting couch!

Accountants
Unhappy, unhappy

Leo
I wanna be a producer

Accountants
Very very unhappy, unhappy

Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Hold everything, hold everything!
Mr. Bialystock was right!
There is a lot more to me than there is to me!
Stop the world! I wanna get on!

Leo
I'm gonna be a producer

Chorus girls
He's gonna be a producer

Leo and chorus girls
Look out Broadway

Leo
'Cause here I come!
