[Spoken]
When I was thirteen years old, I was on the road with the show Gypsy. And actually, that's where I met Marvin - Marvin Laird, my musical director.
And I played one of the Hollywood blondes, but my bio says I played Dainty June and that's a lie, I have to tell you. I feel really bad. I was only the understudy. My mother put it in there. She thought it sounded much better early on in a career. And I really need to apologize to that girl that played - do you remember her name? The girl that played–? Susie? Her name was Susie. Oh, so disrespectful to your peers, you know?
Anyways, if anybody, if anyone knows her, please tell, please apologize for - no, don't, tell her I owe her an apology. And I will change that bio right away, right after this show is over.
Anyway, during the way the show was planned, every night I would end up in the wings during one particular number. And, um, I would stand there and say to myself, one day I've gotta sing this song.

Some people can get a thrill
Knitting sweaters and sitting still
That's okay for some people
Who don't know they're alive
Some people can thrive and bloom
Living life in a 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 yet
All the places I gotta play
All the things that I gotta be yet
Come on, Poppa, whaddaya say?
