Gypsy: Some People |
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 |
