Where I Wanna Be

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!

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

Let me hear some Louis Armstrong licks
Basie boogie in the mix
Fab Cab Calloway for kicks
And leave some room for me
I said, leave some room for me

Play that big, fat E-flat
And make my heart go
Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam

Someone's playin' my song here
Tellin' me I belong here
Nothin' 'bout it feels wrong here
I'm where I wanna be
I'm where I wanna be!
I'm where I wanna be!

(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!

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
Everythin' I've seen today is singin'
Welcome kid, you're H-O-M-E, home

Guess my goose has been cooked now
Irreversibly hooked now
'Cause the last time I looked now
I'm where I wanna be

Keep your Cannes and Miamis
L.A.'s, Oscars, and Grammys
Start unpackin' my jammies
I'm where I wanna be

I'm where I wanna be
I'm where I wanna be
I'm where I wanna be
