Gypsy movie - Some People lyrics
rate me<br>
Momma Rose<br>
Anybody that stays home is dead<br>
If I die it won't be from sitting <br>
<br>
It will be from fighting to get up and get out!<br>
Some people can get a thrill<br>
knitting sweaters and sitting still.<br>
That's okay for some people<br>
who don't know they're alive.<br>
<br>
Some people can thrive and bloom<br>
living life in the living room.<br>
That's perfect for some people<br>
of one hundred and five.<br>
<br>
But I at least gotta try<br>
when I think of all the sights that I gotta see<br>
and all the places I gotta play,<br>
all the things that I gotta be at.<br>
Come on, papa, what do you say?<br>
<br>
Some people can be content<br>
playing bingo and paying rent.<br>
That's peachy for some people,<br>
for some hum-drum people to be,<br>
but some people ain't me!<br>
<br>
I had a dream,<br>
a wonderful dream, papa,<br>
all about June in the Orpheum circuit.<br>
Gimme a chance and I know I can work it.<br>
<br>
I had a dream.<br>
Just as real as can be, papa.<br>
There I was in Mr. Orpheum's office<br>
and he was saying to me, "Rose,<br>
get yourselves some new orchestrations,<br>
new routines and red velvet curtains.<br>
Get a feathered hat for the baby;<br>
photographs in front of the theatre.<br>
Get an agent and in jig time<br>
you'll be being booked in the big time."<br>
<br>
Oh, what a dream.<br>
A wonderful dream, papa.<br>
And all that I need is eighty-eight bucks, papa.<br>
That's what he said, papa.<br>
Only eighty-eight bucks.<br>
<br>
Papa<br>
You ain't gettin' eighty-eight cents from me, Rose.<br>
<br>
Rose<br>
Well, I'll get it someplace else! But I'll get it! And get my kids out!<br>
<br>
Goodbye to blueberry pie.<br>
Good riddance to all the socials I had to go to,<br>
all the lodges I had to play,<br>
all the shriners I said hello to.<br>
Hey, L.A., I'm comin' your way!<br>
<br>
Some people sit on their butts;<br>
got the dream, yeah, but not the guts.<br>
That's living for some people,<br>
for some hum-drum people I suppose.<br>
Well, they can stay and rot!<br>
But not Rose!<br>
<br>
