Some People Lyrics

Some People lyrics

Some people can get a thrill, knitting sweaters and sitting still

That's
okay for some people 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

And all the places I gotta play, All the
things that I gotta be at

Come on papa, what'd'ya say?



Some
people can be content, playin' bingo and payin' rent

That's livin' for
some people, for some hum-drum people - to-oo be

But some people - ain't
me



I had a dream, a wonderful dream, papa

All about June in
the Orpheum circuit

Give me a chance, I know I can work it, Uhh, what a
dream

And it was just as real as could be, papa

Well just listen to
me, there I was in Mr Orpheum's office

And he was sayin' to me -  Rose!

Get yourself some new orchestrations, new routines and red velvet curtains

Get a feathered hat for the baby, photographed in front of the theatre

Get an agent and in jig time, you'll be bein' booked in the big time



Oh what a dream, a wonderful dream, papa

And all that I need is
eighty-eight bucks, Papa, that's it

That's what he said papa, only
eighty-eight bucks, papa



It's uh, yeah, but it's only eighty-eight
bucks

It's not like I'm askin' for a second mortgage on this place

What d'ya gettin so crick, why you gettin' crazy, it's eighty-eight lousy
bucks

What do you mean I ain't gettin' eighty-eight cents outta you

Well, I'll get it, and I'll get my kids - OUT - NOW



Goodbye, to
blueberry pies, good ridance to all the socials I had to go to

All the
lodges that I had to play, all the shriners I said hell
