Linda Eder - Some People lyrics

Some People Some people can get a thrill Knitting sweaters and sitting still That's ok 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 All the places I gotta play All the things that I gotta be Come on papa what do ya say? Some people can be content Playing bingo and paying rent That's peachy for some people For some humdrum people to be But some people ain't me! I had a dream A wonderful dream papa All about June and the Orphium Circuit Gimme a chance I know I can work it! I had a dream Just as real as it can be papa There I was in Mr. Orphium'soffice And he was saying to me Rose! Get yourself 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 a jigtime Then you'll be hooked 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 sources That I had to go to All the lodges I had to play All the shriners I said hello to Hey LA I'm comin' your way! Some people sit on their bu*ts Got the dream yeah but not the guts That's livin' for some people For some humdrum people I suppose Well they can stay and rot But not Rose!
