gypsy 2008 broadway revival cast & patti lupone - some people lyrics

Loading...

[rose, spoken]
anybody that stays home is dead
if i die it won’t be from sitting
it’ll be from fighting to get up and get out!

[rose]
some people can get a thrill
knitting sweaters and sitting still
that’s okay for some people
who 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 yet
all the places i gotta play
all the things that i gotta be yet
come on, poppa, whaddaya say?

some people can be content
playing bingo and paying rent
that’s peachy for some people
for some, hum+drum people to be
but some people ain’t me
i had a dream
a wonderful dream, poppa
all about june in the orpheum circuit
give me a chance and i know i can work it

i had a dream
just as real as can be, poppa
there i was in mr. orpheum’s office
and he was saying to me:

“rose
get yourself some new orchestrations
new routines and red velvet curtains
get a feathered hat for the baby
photographs in front of the theater
get an agent, and in jig time
you’ll be being booked in the big time!”

oh, what a dream
a wonderful dream, poppa
and all that i need, is eighty eight bucks, poppa
that’s what he said, poppa
only eighty eight bucks

[poppa, spoken]
you ain’t gettin’ eighty eight cents from me, rose
[rose, spoken]
then i’ll get it some place else!
but i’ll get it, and get my kids out!

[rose]
goodbye
to blueberry pie
good riddance
to all the socials i had to go to
all the lodges i had to play
all the shriners i said h+llo to
hey, la, i’m coming your way

some people sit on their b+tt
got the dream, yeah, but not the guts
that’s living for some people
for some hum+drum people, i suppose

well they can stay and rot
but not rose
