Generate meaning
1
Some people can get a thrill
2
Knitting sweaters and sitting still
3
That's OK for some people
4
Who don't know they're alive
5
Some people can thrive and bloom
6
Living life in the living room
7
That's perfect for some people
8
Of one hundred and five
9
But I at least gotta try
10
When I think of
11
All the sights that I gotta see
12
All the places I gotta play
13
All the things I gotta be at
14
Come on Papa
15
What do you say?
16
Some people can be content
17
Playing bingo and paying rent
18
That's peachy for some people
19
For some hum-drum people to be
20
But some people ain't me!
21
I had a dream
22
A wonderful dream, Papa
23
All about June in the Orpheum Circuit
24
Gimme a chance and I know I can work it! I had a dream
25
Just as real as can be, Papa
26
There I was in Mr. Orpheum's office
27
And he was saying to me
28
"Rose, get yourself some new orchestrations
29
New routines and red velvet curtains
30
Get a feathered hat for the baby
31
Photographs in front of the theater
32
Get an agent and in jig time
33
You'll be being booked in the big time!"
34
Oh, what a dream!
35
A wonderful dream, Papa!
36
And all that I need is eighty-eight bucks, Papa
37
That's what he said
38
Only eighty-eight bucks
39
**"you ain't getting eighty-eight cents from me, Rose"
40
Well I'll get it someplace else! But I'll get it! And I'll get my kids out!"**
41
Goodbye to blueberry pie!
42
Good riddance to all the socials I had to go to
43
All the lodges I had to play
44
All the shruners I said hello to
45
Hey L.A. I'm comin' your way!
46
Some people sit on their butts
47
Got the dream, Yeah, but not the guts
48
That's living for some people
49
For some hum-drum people
50
I suppose
51
Well, they can stay and rot!
52
But not Rose!!!
53
**- Isn't said or sung in the song, but in the lyrics
