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 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 theater
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 riddance to all the socials I had to go to
All the lodges that I had to play, all the shriners I said hello to
L.A. I'm coming your way
Some people sit on their butts
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
