Linda Eder - Some People {from Gypsy} lyrics
Some people can get a thrill
 Knitting sweaters and sitting still
 That's OK for some people
 Who don't know they're alive
 Some people can thrive and bloom
 Living life in the 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
 All the places I gotta play
 All the things I gotta be at
 Come on Papa
 What do you 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, 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 Mr. Orpheum's office
 And he was saying to meLinda Eder - Some People {from Gypsy} - http://motolyrics.com/linda-eder/some-people-from-gypsy-lyrics.html
 "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, Papa!
 And all that I need is eighty-eight bucks, Papa
 That's what he said
 Only eighty-eight bucks
 **"you ain't getting eighty-eight cents from me, Rose"
 Well I'll get it someplace else! But I'll get it! And I'll get my kids out!"**
 Goodbye to blueberry pie!
 Good riddance to all the socials I had to go to
 All the lodges I had to play
 All the shruners I said hello to
 Hey L.A. I'm comin' 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!!!
**- Isn't said or sung in the song, but in the lyrics
