Testo della canzone There's Gotta Be Something Better Than This - 1969 Motion Picture Soundtrack (Cy Coleman, Dorothy Fields, Shirley Maclaine, Paula Kelly, Chita Rivera & Joseph Gershenson), tratta dall'album Sweet Charity (1969 Motion Picture Soundtrack)
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 when I find me something a half-wit 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, clenching,
Strangling, handling, bumbling, pinching.
Phooey!
There's gotta be some life cleaner than this,
There's gotta 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.
"I got it. Oh I have got it."
"What?"
"I am gonna be a receptionist.
In one of those glass skyscrapers.
9 to 5.
My own typewriter, and water coolers, and office parties.
Oo ooh And coffee breaks!"
When I sit at my desk on 41st floor,
With my copy of, a copy of, a copy of Dior.
I receive big tycoons, and I'll point to a chair,
I'll say "Honey while you're waiting,
how would you like to put it down ove' there.".
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.
"Hey, hey. Me too. Me too.
I'm gonna get outta here and I'm gonna go right to the top.
I am going to be a hat check girl.
At one of those Eastside high class restaurants.
You know where a tray full of cigarettes
cost 66 cents a package, keep the change.
And all those hats coming in. Derby's, Holmberg's,
Ohh and that cute little checkered
number with the skinny brim and the feather!"
Check your hat, sir. Check your coat,
sir. Check your vest, sir. Check your pants.
Check your socks, sir. Check your shoes, sir.
I can hold them while you dance.
Check your eyes, sir. Check your ears, sir.
Check and see if you agree.
How about if after hours, I'll check you,
And you check me.
"Me too. Me too. I'm gonna get out too."
"But Sweetie, what would you do?"
"I don't know. Just get me outta here, and I'll figure it out later."
There's gotta be some life cleaner than this,
There's gotta 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.
(Instrumental)
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
Live it!
