Some People (Live) - Liza Minnelli
Lyrics by:Stephen Sondheim/Julie Styne
Composed by:Stephen Sondheim/Julie Styne
Some people can get a thrill knitting sweaters and sitting still
That's ok for some people 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
And all the places I gotta play
All the things that I gotta be at
Come on papa what'd ya say
Some people can be content playin' bingo and payin' rent
That's livin' for some people for some hum-drum people
I suposed
But some people ain't rose
I had a dream a wonderful dream papa
All about june in the orpheum circuit
Give me a chance I know I can work it
Uhh what a dream
And it was just as real as could be papa
Well just listen to me there I was in
Mr orpheum's office
And he was sayin' to me rose
Get yourself some new orchestrations
New routines and red velvet curtains
Get a feathered hat for the
Baby photographed 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 it
That's what he said papa only
Eighty-eight bucks papa
Why you gettin' crazy it's
Eighty-eight
What do you mean I ain't gettin'
Eighty-eight cents out of you
Well I'll get it and I'll get
My kids out
Goodbye to blueberry pies good
Ridance to all the socials I had to go to
All the lodges that I had to
Play all the shriners I said hell to away
Ah comeing you waste am people
Should on never
Bingo and payin' rent
Not that gots
That's livin' for some people for some hum-drum people
Ay suposed
Twilve can stay on a rock
But nothing all
