| Rose |
| Here she is, boys! |
| Here she is, world! |

| Curtain up! |
| Light the lights! |
| Play it, boys! |
| Ya either got it, or ya ain’t. |
| And, boys, I got it! |
| Ya like it? |
| Well, I got it! |
| Some people got it and make it pay. |
| Some people can’t even give it away. |
| This people’s got it and this people’s spreadin’it around! |
| You either have it or you’ve had it! |
| Hello, everybody! |
| My name is Rose! |
| What’s yours? |
| How do you like them eggrolls, Mr. Goldstone? |
| Hold your hats and hallelujah. |
| Mama’s gonna show it to you. |
| Ready or not, shhh, here comes Mama. |
| Mama’s talkin’loud. |
| Mama’s doin’fine. |
| Mama’s gettin’hot. |
| Mama’s goin’stong. |
| Mama’s movin’on. |
| Mama’s all alone. |
| Mama doesn’t care. |
| Mama’s lettin’loose. |
| Mama’s got the stuff. |
| Mama’s lettin’go. |
| Mama? |
| Mama’s got the stuff. |
| Mama’s gotta move. |
| Mama’s gotta go. |
| Mama? |
| Mama? |
| Mama’s gotta let go. |
| Why did I do it? |
| What did it get me? |
| Scrapbooks full of me in the background. |
| Give 'em love and what does it get ya? |
| What does it get ya? |
| One quick look as each of 'em leaves you. |
| All your life and what does it get ya? |
| Thanks a lot and out with the garbage, |
| They take bows and you’re battin’zero. |
| I had a dream. |
| I dreamed it for you, June. |
| It wasn’t for me, Herbie. |
| And if it wasn’t for me then where would you be, |
| Miss Gypsy Rose Lee? |
| Well, someone tell me, when is it my turn? |
| Don’t I get a dream for myself? |
| Starting now it’s gonna be my turn. |
| Gangway, world, get off of my runway! |
| Starting now I bat a thousand! |
| This time, boys, I’m taking the bows and |
| everything’s coming up Rose! |
| Everything’s coming up roses! |
| Everything’s coming up roses |
| this time for me! |
| For me! |
| For me! |
| For me! |
| For me! |
| For me! |
| For me! |
| Yeah! |
| Rose |
| I was… trying out for you… New ideas you might wanna use… |
| Gypsy |
| You really would have been something, momma! |
| Rose |
| Do you think so? |
| Gypsy |
| If you had someone to push you like I had… |
| Rose |
| If I could have been… I would have been… |
| And that’s show business! |
| I guess I did it for me… |
| Gypsy |
| Why, momma? |
| Rose |
| Just wanted to be noticed… |
| Gypsy |
| Like I wanted you to notice me! |
| I still do, momma! |
| Gypsy |
| It’s OK, momma! |
| OK, Rose! |
| Rose |
| See… You look like you should speak French! |
| Gypsy |
| You’re coming to that party with me… |
| Rose |
| No! |
| Gypsy |
| Come on! |
| Rose |
| Not like this. |
| Gypsy |
| Wear my fur I have a stole in my cabinet. |
| Rose |
| Well, maybe just for an hour or two… Hey, it looks better on me than it does on you. |
| Funny how we can both wear the same size! |
| Gypsy |
| Specially in mink. |
| Rose |
| You know… I had a dream last night. |
| There was a big poster of a mother |
| and daughter, like the covers of the ladies magazines… |
| Gypsy |
| Yes, momma! |
| Rose |
| Only it was you and me wearing exactly the same gowns. |
| It was an add for |
| Minsky, and the headline said: «MADAM ROSE… AND HER DAUGHTER GYPSY». |
| [They laugh, embrace each other and leave. |
| Rose stops for a while and |
| take one last look at the stage as if she said good-bye.] |
