"Rose's Turn" lyrics

Curtain up!
Light the lights!
Play it, boys!

Ya either got it, or ya ain't
And, boys, I got it!
Ya like it? (Yeah)
Well, I got it!

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!

Mama's talkin' loud
Mama's doin' fine
Mama's gettin' hot
Mama's goin' strong

Mama doesn't care
Mama's lettin' loose
Mama's got the stuff
Mama's lettin' go

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 roses!
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!
