1. _ Rose's Turn
Here she is, boys!
Here she is, world!
Here's rose!
Curtain up!
Light the lights!
Play it, boys!
Ya either got it, or ya ain't.
And, boys, i got it!
Ya like it?
Well, i got it!
Some people got it and make it pay.
Some people can't even give it away.
This people's got it
And this people's spreadin' it around!
You either have it
Or you've had it!
Hello, everybody! my name is rose! what's yours?
How do you like them eggrolls, mr. goldstone?
Hold your hats and hallelujah.
Mama's gonna show it to you.
Ready or not, shhh, here comes mama.
Mama's talkin' loud.
Mama's doin' fine.
Mama's gettin' hot.
Mama's goin' stong.
Mama's movin' on.
Mama's all alone.
Mama doesn't care.
Mama's lettin' loose.
Mama's got the stuff.
Mama's lettin' go.
Mama?
Mama's got the stuff.
Mama's gotta move.
Mama's gotta go.
Mama? mama?
Mama's gotta let go.
Why did i do it?
What did it get me?
Scrapbooks full of me in the background.
Give 'em love and what does it get ya?
What does it get ya?
One quick look as each of 'em leaves you.
All your life and what does it get ya?
Thanks a lot and out with the garbage,
They take bows and you're battin' zero.
I had a dream.
I dreamed it for you, june.
It wasn't for me, herbie.
And if it wasn't for me
Then where would you be,
Miss gypsy rose lee?
Well, someone tell me, when is it my turn?
Don't i get a dream for myself?
Starting now it's gonna be my turn.
Gangway, world, get off of my runway!
Starting now i bat a thousand!
This time, boys, i'm taking the bows and
Everything's coming up rose!
Everything's coming up roses!
Everything's coming up roses
This time for me!
For me! for me! for me! for me! for me!
For me!

2. _ Mr Goldstone
Rose: have an eggroll, mr. goldstone.
Have a napkin, have a chopstick, have a chair.
Have a spare rib, mr. goldstone.
Any spare that i can spare i'll be glad to share!
Have a dish, have a fork, have a fish, have a pork.
Put your feet up. feel at home.
Have a smoke, have a coke.
Would you like to hear a joke?
I'll have june recite a poem!
Have a leechie, mr. goldstone.
Tell me any little thing that i can do.
Ginger peachy, mr. goldstone.
Have a kumquat, have two!
Everybody give a cheer.
Santa claus is sitting here.
Mr. goldstone i love you!
Have a goldstone, mr. eggroll.
Tell me any little thing that i can do.
Have some fried rice, mr. soy sauce.
Have a cookie, have a few!
What's the matter, mr. g?
Have another pot of tea.
Mr. goldstone i love you!
Herbie: there are good stones and bad stones
And curbstones and gladstones
And touchstones and such stones as them.
Rose: there are big stones and small stones
And grind stones and gall stones,
All: but goldstone is a gem!
There are milestones, there are mill stones.
There's a cherry, there's a yellow, there's a blue.
But we don't want any old stone,
Only goldstone will do!
Moon stones, sun stones.
We all scream for one stone.
Mr. goldstone we love you!
Goldstone!

3. _ Some People
Some people can get a thrill
Knitting sweaters and setting still.
That's okay 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
And all the places i gotta play,
All the things that i gotta be at.
Come on, papa, what do you say?
Some people can be content
Playing bingo and paying rent.
That's peachy 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.
Gimme a chance and i know i can work it.
I had a dream.
Just as real as can be, papa.
There i was in mr. orpheum's office
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 in jig time
You'll be being 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 what he said, papa.
Only eighty-eight bucks.
"you ain't gettin' eighty-eight cents from me, rose."
"well, i'll get it someplace else! but i'll get it! and get my kids out!"
Goodbye to blueberry pie.
Good ridance to all the socials i had to go to,
All the lodges i had to play,
All the shriners i said hello to.
Hey, l.a., i'm comin' your way!
Some people sit on their butts;
Got the dream, yeah, but not the guts.
That's living for some people,
For some hum-drum people i suppose.
Well, they can stay and rot!
But not rose!

4. _ Small World
Rose: funny, you're a stranger who's come here,
Come from another town.
Funny, i'm a stranger myself here.
Small world, isn't it?
Funny, you're a man who goes traveling
Rather than settling down.
Funny, 'cause i'd love to go traveling.
Small world, isn't it?
We have so much in common,
It's a phenomenon.
We could pool our resources
By joining forces from now on.
Lucky, you're a man who likes children.
That's an important sign.
Lucky, i'm a woman with children.
Small world, isn't it?
Funny, isn't it small and funny and fine?
Herbie: we have so much in common,
It's a phenomenon.
We could pool our resources
By joining forces from now on.
Rose: lucky, you're a man who likes children.
H: that's an important sign.
Rose: lucky,
H: you're a
Rose & herbie: woman with children.
Small world, isn't it?
Rose: funny, isn't it
H: isn't it
Rose &herbie: small and funny and fine?

5. _ You'll Never Get Away From Me
Rose: you'll never get away from me.
You can climb the tallest tree.
I'll be there somehow.
True, you could say, "hey, here's your hat."
But a little thing like that
Couldn't stop me now.
I couldn't get away from you,
Even if you told me to,
So go on and try.
Just try and you're gonna see
How you're gonna not at all
Get away from me.
Herbie: rose, i love you, but don't count your chickens.
Rose: come dance with me.
Herbie: i warn you that i'm no boy scout.
Rose: relax awhile, come dance with me.
Herbie: so don't think that i'm easy pickin'.
Rose: the music's so nice.
Herbie: rose, 'cause i just may some day pick up and pack out.
Rose: oh, no you don't. no, not a chance.
No arguments, shut up and dance.
Rose: you'll never get away from me.
You can climb the tallest tree.
I'll be there somehow.
True, you could say, "hey, here's your hat."
Rose &herbie: but a little
Herbie: thing like that
Couldn't stop me now.
Rose &herbie: i couldn't get away from you,
Even if i wanted to.
Rose: well, go on and try.
Just try
Herbie: ah, rose.
Rose: and you're gonna see
Herbie: ah, rose
Rose: how you're gonna not at all
Rose &herbie: get away from me.

6. _ Everythings Coming Up Roses
I had a dream, a dream about you, baby.
It's gonna come true, baby.
They think that we're through, but baby,
You'll be swell! you'll be great!
Gonna have the whole world on the plate!
Starting here, starting now,
Honey, everything's coming up roses!
Clear the decks! clear the tracks!
You've got nothing to do but relax.
Blow a kiss. take a bow.
Honey, everything's coming up roses!
Now's your inning. stand the world on it's ear!
Set it spinning! that'll be just the beginning!
Curtain up! light the lights!
You got nothing to hit but the heights!
You'll be swell. you'll be great.
I can tell. just you wait.
That lucky star i talk about is due!
Honey, everything's coming up roses for me and for you!
You can do it, all you need is a hand.
We can do it, mama is gonna see to it!
Curtain up! light the lights!
We got nothing to hit but the heights!
I can tell, wait and see.
There's the bell! follow me!
And nothing's gonna stop us 'til we're through!
Honey, everything's coming up roses and daffodils!
Everything's coming up sunshine and santa claus!
Everything's gonna be bright lights and lollipops!
Everything's coming up roses for me and for you!

7. _ Together, Wherever We Go
Rose: wherever we go, whatever we do,
We're gonna go through it together.
We may not go far, but sure as a star,
Wherever we are, it's together.
Wherever i go i know he goes.
Wherever i go i know she goes.
No fits, no fights, no feuds
And no egos, amigos, together!
Through thick and through thin,
All out or all in.
And whether it's win, place or show.
With you for me and me for you,
We'll muddle through whatever we do.
Together, wherever we go.
Rose & herbie: wherever we go, whatever we do,
We're gonna go through it together.
Rose: wherever we sleep, if prices are steep,
Herbie:we'll always sleep cheaper together.
Rose: whatever the boat i row, you row.
Herbie: a duo
Rose: whatever the row i hoe, you hoe.
Louise: a trio.
Rose: and any i. o. u., i owe you-oh's?
Herbie: who, me-oh? no, you-oh.
Louise: no, we-oh.
All: together!
We all take the bow
Rose: including the cow,
All: though business is lousy and slow.
Rose: with herbie's vim, louise's verve,
Herbie &louise: now all we need is someone with nerve.
Rose: together
Herbie &louise: together
Rose: wherever
Herbie &louise: wherever
Rose: together, wherever,
All: together, wherever we go.
Rose: we go in a group,
All: we tour in a troupe.
We land in the soup, but we know
The things we do, we do by threes.
A perfect team.
Rose: no, this way, louise!
Together
Herbie &louise: together
Rose: wherever
Herbie &louise: wherever
All: together, wherever we go!
