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