Some People (Live) - Liza Minnelli
Some people can get a thrill knitting sweaters and sitting still
That's okay 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 to be
But some people ain't me
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 theatre
Get an agent and in jig time
You'll be bein' 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
It's uh yeah but it's only eighty-eight bucks
It's not like I'm askin' for a second mortgage on this place
What d'ya gettin so crick
Why you gettin' crazy it's eighty-eight lousy bucks
What do you mean I ain't gettin' eighty-eight cents outta you
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
