lirik lagu original broadway cast of in transit – do what i do
[jane]
i am an actor, or an “actress” or “whatever”
got a fancy college theatre degree
i told myself i’d be on broadway by thirty
but i blinked, and poof! i turned thirty~three
it’s a game of survival, but hey, that’s the biz
and new york is mad expensive, but the good news is
i got temping sk!lls
to pay my bills
that’s my scheme ’til my dream comes true
so i do what i don’t really do
so i can do what i do do
that’s what i do
uh huh
doobie doobie do
it’s not so bad, i answer calls, i print reports
when no one’s looking, use an office supply
booya!
i type and file while i hum stephen schwartz
crammed in my corner of the corporate sky
ev’ry job’s got somethin’, makes it easy to bear
like this sw~nky midtown office
overlooking times square
out my window i see
a broadway marquee
and to me, that’s a h~ll of a view
reminding me i do what i don’t really do
[boxman]
(ticks a clock)
[jane]
… so i can do what i do… do
a survival job is a stepping stone
before you become who you are
i mean, madonna was a coat check girl
before she became a global star
meryl streep waited tables
marlon brando – he dug ditches
liza and barbara and patti lupone
never had a day job
[all]
b~tches!
[jane]
but harrison ford and jesus christ
both survived on carpentry
they paid their dues on the road
to greatness just like me!
[ms. williams]
morning jane!
[jane]
morning, ms. williams
[ms. williams]
i need you to channel your powers, and proof the entire annual report by 1pm
[jane]
i got it. i’ll work through lunch
[ms. williams]
gettin’ it done, jane
[jane]
you bet! that’s what i do. i’m gonna miss my audition
what am i doing?
i’m an “actor” or “whatever”
but i’m making self delusion an art
and i’ll go crazy in an office one more second
i’ll bust out of here by getting this part!
i see people who give up and
leave the biz ev’ry year
and yeah, i’m thirty~three
but baby ~~ i’m still here!
though i’m not there yet
i can’t forget that i bet
on myself coming through
i’m not gonna do what i don’t really do
i gotta do what i do… do
oh yeah
i gotta do what i do… do
whoa… whoa
i gotta do what i do
doo n doo doo n doo doo n doo
do what i do do do
i gotta do what i
[all]
doo!
