Music: Jule Styne

Lyrics: Stephen Sondheim
3
Some people can get a thrill
4
Knitting sweaters and sitting still
5
That's OK for some people
6
Who don't know they're alive
7
Some people can thrive and bloom
8
Living life in the living room
9
That's perfect for some people
10
Of one hundred and five
11
But I at least gotta try
12
When I think of
13
All the sights that I gotta see
14
All the places I gotta play
15
All the things I gotta be at
16
Come on Papa
17
What do you say?
18
Some people can be content
19
Playing bingo and paying rent
20
That's peachy for some people
21
For some hum-drum people to be
22
But some people ain't me!
23
I had a dream
24
A wonderful dream, Papa
25
All about June in the Orpheum Circuit
26
Gimme a chance and I know I can work it! I had a dream
27
Just as real as can be, Papa
28
There I was in Mr. Orpheum's office
29
And he was saying to me
30
"Rose, get yourself some new orchestrations
31
New routines and red velvet curtains
32
Get a feathered hat for the baby
33
Photographs in front of the theater
34
Get an agent and in jig time
35
You'll be being booked in the big time!"
36
Oh, what a dream!
37
A wonderful dream, Papa!
38
And all that I need is eighty-eight bucks, Papa
39
That's what he said
40
Only eighty-eight bucks
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!!!
