Some People Lyrics by Gypsy 2008 Broadway Revival Cast, Patti LuPone

Gypsy (2008 Broadway Revival Cast)

2008

[ROSE, spoken]
Anybody that stays home is dead
If I die it won't be from sitting
It’ll be from fighting to get up and get out!
[ROSE]
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 a 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 yet
All the places I gotta play
All the things that I gotta be yet
Come on, Poppa, whaddaya 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, Poppa
All about June in the Orpheum Circuit
Give me a chance and I know I can work it
I had a dream
Just as real as can be, Poppa
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, Poppa
And all that I need, is eighty eight bucks, Poppa
That's what he said, Poppa
Only eighty eight bucks
[POPPA, spoken]
You ain't gettin’ eighty eight cents from me, Rose
[ROSE, spoken]
Then I’ll get it some place else!
But I'll get it, and get my kids out!
[ROSE]
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, LA, I’m coming your way
Some people sit on their butt
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
