Some People(from Gypsy) (2007 Remastered Version) - Linda Eder

Written by：Stephen Sondheim/Frank Wildhorn/Linda Eder

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

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 it can be papa

There I was in Mr 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 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

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 b*tts

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
