Girls:
|
There’s gotta be something better than this,
|
There’s gotta be something better to do.
|
And when I find me something better to do,
|
I’m gonna get up, I’m gonna get out
|
I’m gonna get up, get out and do it!
|
There’s gotta be some respectable trade,
|
There’s gotta be something easy to learn.
|
And if I find me something I halfwit can learn,
|
I’m gonna get up, I’m gonna get out
|
I’m gonna get up, get out and learn it!
|
All these jokers, how I hate them
|
With their groping, grabbing, clutching, clinching,
|
Strangling, handling, bumbling, pinching
|
There’s gotta be some life cleaner than this,
|
There’s gotta be some good reason to live.
|
And when I find me some kind of life I can live,
|
I’m gonna get up, I’m gonna get out,
|
I’m gonna get up, get out and live it!
|
Right!
|
Nickie:
|
I got it! |
I got it!
|
I’m gonna be a receptionist
|
In one of those glass office buildings
|
Nine to five, I’m gonna have my own typewriter,
|
And water cooling and office parties…
|
Ooooh, and coffee breaks… wow!
|
Then I sit on my desk on the forty-first floor
|
In my copy of a copy of a copy of Dior!
|
I’ll receive VIP tycoons
|
And I’ll point to a chair
|
I’ll say: honey, what you’re waiting?
|
How would you like to put it down over there?
|
All:
|
Yeah!
|
There’s gotta be something better than this,
|
There’s gotta be something better to do,
|
And when I find me something better to do.
|
I’m gonna get up, I’m gonna get out
|
I’m gonna get up, get out and do it!
|
Helene:
|
Me too… Me too!
|
I’m gonna get a year to go right to the top
|
I’m gonna be a hat chat girl
|
At one of the East Side, high class restaurants
|
You know, a tray of cigarettes,
|
Costing 66 cents a pack and keep the change?
|
And all those hats coming in Dirbies, humbirds…
|
Ooooh! |
And that cute little checked number
|
With that skinny brim and a feather
|
Take your hat, sir!
|
Take your coat, sir!
|
Take your vest, sir!
|
Take your pants!
|
Take your socks, sir!
|
Take your shoes, sir!
|
I can hold them while you dance
|
Take your eyes, sir!
|
Take your ears, sir!
|
Take and see if you are free
|
How about it after hours
|
I’ll take you and you’ll take me!
|
Charity:
|
Me too… I'm gonna get out too!
|
Nickie:
|
But, baby, what would you do?
|
Charity:
|
I don’t know… Just get me out of here and I’ll figure out later!
|
There’s gotta be some life cleaner than this
|
There’s gotta be some good reason to live
|
All:
|
And when I find me some kind of life I can live
|
I’m gonna get up…
|
I’m gonna get out…
|
La la la la la la …
|
How wow how wow
|
And when I find me some kind of life I can live
|
I’m gonna get up…
|
I’m gonna get up…
|
I’m gonna get up, get out and live it! |
