[00:00.00]
[00:06.82]Some people can get a thrill
[00:10.16]knitting sweaters and sitting still.
[00:13.78]That's okay for some people
[00:17.34]who don't know they're alive.
[00:21.02]Some people can thrive and bloom
[00:24.50]living life in the living room.
[00:28.09]That's perfect for some people
[00:31.58]of one hundred and five.
[00:35.06]But I at least gotta try
[00:41.05]when I think of all the sights that I gotta see
[00:44.20]and all the places I gotta play,
[00:45.88]all the things that I gotta be at.
[00:47.66]Come on, papa, what do you say?
[00:49.73]Some people can be content
[00:53.01]playing bingo and paying rent.
[00:56.43]That's peachy for some people,
[01:00.14]for some hum-drum people to be,
[01:06.83]but some people ain't me!
[01:12.97]I had a dream,
[01:16.50]a wonderful dream, papa,
[01:19.92]all about June in the Orpheum circuit.
[01:21.64]Gimme a chance and I know I can work it.
[01:23.89]I had a dream.
[01:27.55]Just as real as can be, papa.
[01:31.30]There I was in Mr. Orpheum's office
[01:35.50]and he was saying to me, "Rose,
[01:39.06]get yourselves some new orchestrations,
[01:40.74]new routines and red velvet curtains.
[01:42.46]Get a feathered hat for the baby;
[01:44.17]photographs in front of the theatre.
[01:46.07]Get an agent and in jig time
[01:48.01]you'll be being booked in the big time."
[01:50.88]Oh, what a dream.
[01:54.12]A wonderful dream, papa.
[01:57.50]And all that I need is eighty-eight bucks, papa.
[02:03.28]That's what he said, papa.
[02:06.73]Only eighty-eight bucks.
[02:12.15]Goodbye to blueberry pie.
[02:18.25]Good riddance to all the socials I had to go to,
[02:21.50]all the lodges I had to play,
[02:23.39]all the shriners I said hello to.
[02:25.20]Hey, L.A., I'm comin' your way!
[02:27.19]Some people sit on their butts;
[02:30.45]got the dream, yeah, but not the guts.
[02:34.22]That's living for some people,
[02:37.60]for some hum-drum people I suppose.
[02:44.85]Well, they can stay and rot!
[02:53.96]But not Rose!
