| Some people can get a thrill, knitting sweaters and sitting still
|
| That’s okay for some people don’t know they’re alive
|
| Some people can thrive and bloom, living life in a living room
|
| That’s perfect for some people of one hundred and five
|
| But I… at least gotta try
|
| When I think of all the sights that I gotta see
|
| And all the places I gotta play, All the things that I gotta be at Come on papa, what’d’ya say?
|
| Some people can be content, playin' bingo and payin' rent
|
| That’s livin' for some people, for some hum-drum people — to-oo be But some people — ain’t me I had a dream, a wonderful dream, papa
|
| All about June in the Orpheum circuit
|
| Give me a chance, I know I can work it, Uhh, what a dream
|
| And it was just as real as could be, papa
|
| Well just listen to me, there I was in Mr Orpheum’s office
|
| And he was sayin' to me — Rose!
|
| Get yourself some new orchestrations, new routines and red velvet curtains
|
| Get a feathered hat for the baby, photographed in front of the theatre
|
| Get an agent and in jig time, you’ll be bein' booked in the big time
|
| Oh what a dream, a wonderful dream, papa
|
| And all that I need is eighty-eight bucks, Papa, that’s it That’s what he said papa, only eighty-eight bucks, papa
|
| It’s uh, yeah, but it’s only eighty-eight bucks
|
| It’s not like I’m askin' for a second mortgage on this place
|
| What d’ya gettin so crick, why you gettin' crazy, it’s eighty-eight lousy bucks
|
| What do you mean I ain’t gettin' eighty-eight cents outta you
|
| Well, I’ll get it, and I’ll get my kids — OUT — NOW
|
| Goodbye, to blueberry pies, good ridance to all the socials I had to go to
|
| All the lodges that I had to play, all the shriners I said hell |
