Letra de Some people

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 theatre.
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 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!
