Liza Minnelli - Some People Lyrics
Some people can get a thrill, knitting sweaters and sitting stillThat's okay for some people don't know they're aliveSome people can thrive and bloom, living life in a living roomThat's perfect for some people of one hundred and fiveBut I... at least gotta tryWhen I think of all the sights that I gotta seeAnd all the places I gotta play, All the things that I gotta be atCome on papa, what'd'ya say?Some people can be content, playin' bingo and payin' rentThat's livin' for some people, for some hum-drum people - to-oo beBut some people - ain't meI had a dream, a wonderful dream, papaAll about June in the Orpheum circuitGive me a chance, I know I can work it, Uhh, what a dreamAnd it was just as real as could be, papaWell just listen to me, there I was in Mr Orpheum's officeAnd he was sayin' to me - Rose!Get yourself some new orchestrations, new routines and red velvet curtainsGet a feathered hat for the baby, photographed in front of the theatreGet an agent and in jig time, you'll be bein' booked in the big timeOh what a dream, a wonderful dream, papaAnd all that I need is eighty-eight bucks, Papa, that's itThat's what he said papa, only eighty-eight bucks, papaIt's uh, yeah, but it's only eighty-eight bucksIt's not like I'm askin' for a second mortgage on this placeWhat d'ya gettin so crick, why you gettin' crazy, it's eighty-eight lousy bucksWhat do you mean I ain't gettin' eighty-eight cents outta youWell, I'll get it, and I'll get my kids - OUT - NOWGoodbye, to blueberry pies, good ridance to all the socials I had to go toAll the lodges that I had to play, all the shriners I said hell
