[ti: Some People]
[length: 03:16]
[00:04.31]Some people can get a thrill
[00:07.04]Knitting sweaters and setting still.
[00:10.60]That’s okay for some people
[00:14.24]Who don’t know they’re alive.
[00:17.82]Some people can thrive and bloom
[00:21.57]Living life in the living room.
[00:25.11]That’s perfect for some people
[00:29.63]Of one hundred and five.
[00:32.32]But I at least gotta try
[00:38.73]When I think of all the sights that I gotta see
[00:42.31]And all the places I gotta play,
[00:44.14]All the things that I gotta be at.
[00:46.88]Come on, papa, what do you say?
[00:48.60]Some people can be content
[00:51.38]Playing bingo and paying rent.
[00:54.98]That’s peachy for some people,
[00:59.55]For some hum-drum people to be,
[01:05.85]But some people ain’t me!
[01:12.19]I had a dream,
[01:16.64]A wonderful dream, papa,
[01:20.21]All about June in the Orpheum circuit.
[01:22.99]Gimme a chance and I know I can work it.
[01:24.75]I had a dream.
[01:28.32]Just as real as can be, papa.
[01:31.12]There I was in Mr. Orpheum’s office
[01:35.64]And he was saying to me, “Rose,
[01:39.28]Get yourself some new orchestrations,
[01:41.94]New routines and red velvet curtains.
[01:43.78]Get a feathered hat for the baby;
[01:45.54]Photographs in front of the theatre.
[01:47.34]Get an agent and in jig time
[01:49.19]You’ll be being booked in the big time.”
[01:52.79]Oh, what a dream.
[01:56.35]A wonderful dream, papa.
[01:59.94]And all that I need is eighty-eight bucks, papa.
[02:06.31]That’s what he said, papa.
[02:09.94]Only eighty-eight bucks.
[02:13.56]”You ain’t gettin’ eighty-eight cents from me, Rose.”
[02:17.15]”Well, I’ll get it someplace else! But I’ll get it! And get my kids out!”
[02:19.85]Goodbye to blueberry pie.
[02:30.70]Good ridance to all the socials I had to go to,
[02:33.46]All the lodges I had to play,
[02:35.20]All the shriners I said hello to.
[02:37.09]Hey, L.A., I’m comin’ your way!
[02:39.76]Some people sit on their butts;
[02:42.48]Got the dream, yeah, but not the guts.
[02:46.17]That’s living for some people,
[02:50.62]For some hum-drum people I suppose.
[02:57.82]Well, they can stay and rot!
[03:00.57]But not Rose!
