[00:00.00] Momma Rose:
[00:00.10] Anybody that stays home is dead
[00:02.10] If I die it won't be from sitting
[00:04.30] It will be from fighting to get up and get out!
[00:08.30] Some people can get a thrill
[00:12.10] knitting sweaters and sitting still.
[00:15.30] That's okay for some people
[00:18.40] who don't know they're alive.
[00:22.00] Some people can thrive and bloom
[00:25.40] living life in the living room.
[00:29.00] That's perfect for some people
[00:32.00] of one hundred and five.
[00:35.10] But I at least gotta try
[00:41.00] when I think of all the sights that I gotta see
[00:44.00] and all the places I gotta play,
[00:46.10] all the things that I gotta be at.
[00:47.30] Come on, papa, what do you say?
[00:50.00] Some people can be content
[00:53.00] playing bingo and paying rent.
[00:57.00] That's peachy for some people,
[01:00.00] for some hum-drum people to be,
[01:06.30] but some people ain't me!
[01:12.00] I had a dream,
[01:15.30] a wonderful dream, papa,
[01:19.00] all about June in the Orpheum circuit.
[01:21.40] Gimme a chance and I know I can work it.
[01:22.30] I had a dream.
[01:25.30] Just as real as can be, papa.
[01:29.00] There I was in Mr. Orpheum's office
[01:33.00] and he was saying to me, "Rose,
[01:36.30] get yourselves some new orchestrations,
[01:38.00] new routines and red velvet curtains.
[01:40.00] Get a feathered hat for the baby;
[01:42.00] photographs in front of the theatre.
[01:43.40] Get an agent and in jig time
[01:45.40] you'll be being booked in the big time."
[01:48.00] Oh, what a dream.
[01:51.00] A wonderful dream, papa.
[01:54.30] And all that I need is eighty-eight bucks, papa.
[02:00.00] That's what he said, papa.
[02:03.00] Only eighty-eight bucks.
[02:04.50] Papa:
[02:05.00] You ain't gettin' eighty-eight cents from me, Rose.
[02:07.50] Rose
[02:08.00] Well, I'll get it someplace else! But I'll get it! And get my kids out!
[02:17.00] Goodbye to blueberry pie.
[02:23.00] Good riddance to all the socials I had to go to,
[02:26.00] all the lodges I had to play,
[02:28.00] all the shriners I said hello to.
[02:29.30] Hey, L.A., I'm comin' your way!
[02:32.00] Some people sit on their butts;
[02:35.00] got the dream, yeah, but not the guts.
[02:38.00] That's living for some people,
[02:41.00] for some hum-drum people I suppose.
[02:48.00] Well, they can stay and rot!
[02:56.30] But not Rose!
[00:00.00] Momma Rose:
[00:00.10] Anybody that stays home is dead
[00:02.10] If I die it won' t be from sitting
[00:04.30] It will be from fighting to get up and get out!
