Testi

[Verse 1]
Some people can get a thrill
Knitting sweaters and sitting still
That's okay for some people
Who don't know they're alive
[Verse 2]
Some people can thrive and bloom
Living life in a living room
That's perfect for some people
Of one-hundred-and-five
[Verse 3]
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 yet
Come on, Papa, what do you say?
[Verse 4]
Some people can be content
Playin' bingo and payin' rent
That's peachy for some people
For some humdrum people to be
But some people ain't me
[Verse 5]
I had a dream
A wonderful dream, Papa
All about June in the Orpheum Circuit
Gimme a chance and I know I can work it
I had a dream
Just as real as can be, Papa
There I was in Mister 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 theatre
Get an agent
And in jig time
You'll be being 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 what he said, Papa
Only eighty-eight bucks, Papa
[Verse 6]
"You ain't gettin' eighty-eight cents from me, Rose"
[Verse 7]
"Then I'll get it someplace else
But I'll get it
And get my kids out"
[Verse 8]
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 hello to
Hey, L.A., I'm comin' your way
[Verse 9]
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
