There's Gotta Be Something Better Than This |
| Girls: |
| There’s gotta be something better than this, |
| There’s gotta be something better to do. |
| And when I find me something better to do, |
| I’m gonna get up, I’m gonna get out |
| I’m gonna get up, get out and do it! |
| There’s gotta be some respectable trade, |
| There’s gotta be something easy to learn. |
| And if I find me something I halfwit can learn, |
| I’m gonna get up, I’m gonna get out |
| I’m gonna get up, get out and learn it! |
| All these jokers, how I hate them |
| With their groping, grabbing, clutching, clinching, |
| Strangling, handling, bumbling, pinching |
| There’s gotta be some life cleaner than this, |
| There’s gotta be some good reason to live. |
| And when I find me some kind of life I can live, |
| I’m gonna get up, I’m gonna get out, |
| I’m gonna get up, get out and live it! |
| Right! |
| Nickie: |
| I got it! |
| I got it! |
| I’m gonna be a receptionist |
| In one of those glass office buildings |
| Nine to five, I’m gonna have my own typewriter, |
| And water cooling and office parties… |
| Ooooh, and coffee breaks… wow! |
| Then I sit on my desk on the forty-first floor |
| In my copy of a copy of a copy of Dior! |
| I’ll receive VIP tycoons |
| And I’ll point to a chair |
| I’ll say: honey, what you’re waiting? |
| How would you like to put it down over there? |
| All: |
| Yeah! |
| There’s gotta be something better than this, |
| There’s gotta be something better to do, |
| And when I find me something better to do. |
| I’m gonna get up, I’m gonna get out |
| I’m gonna get up, get out and do it! |
| Helene: |
| Me too… Me too! |
| I’m gonna get a year to go right to the top |
| I’m gonna be a hat chat girl |
| At one of the East Side, high class restaurants |
| You know, a tray of cigarettes, |
| Costing 66 cents a pack and keep the change? |
| And all those hats coming in Dirbies, humbirds… |
| Ooooh! |
| And that cute little checked number |
| With that skinny brim and a feather |
| Take your hat, sir! |
| Take your coat, sir! |
| Take your vest, sir! |
| Take your pants! |
| Take your socks, sir! |
| Take your shoes, sir! |
| I can hold them while you dance |
| Take your eyes, sir! |
| Take your ears, sir! |
| Take and see if you are free |
| How about it after hours |
| I’ll take you and you’ll take me! |
| Charity: |
| Me too… I'm gonna get out too! |
| Nickie: |
| But, baby, what would you do? |
| Charity: |
| I don’t know… Just get me out of here and I’ll figure out later! |
| There’s gotta be some life cleaner than this |
| There’s gotta be some good reason to live |
| All: |
| And when I find me some kind of life I can live |
| I’m gonna get up… |
| I’m gonna get out… |
| La la la la la la … |
| How wow how wow |
| And when I find me some kind of life I can live |
| I’m gonna get up… |
| I’m gonna get up… |
| I’m gonna get up, get out and live it! |
