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 |
