[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!
