Broadway production (1959) Gypsy the Musical - Some People Lyrics
Momma Rose: Anybody that stays home is dead If I die it won't be from sitting Itll be from fighting to get up and get out
Some people can get a thrill Knitting sweaters and sitting still That's okay 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 And all the places I gotta play All the things that 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 me
Rose, get yourselves 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 papa, only eighty-eight bucks
Papa You ain't gettin' eighty-eight cents from me, Rose.
Momma Rose Well, I'll get it someplace else! But I'll get it! And 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 shriners 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!
