Bette Midler - Rose's Turn Lyrics






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! Yeah!

    I told my mom about Bette being cast as Dolly Levi in the revival of "Hello, Dolly!" a few years ago, and how she got a bit of notoriety for stopping the production mid-scene for a do-over if she wasn't pleased with it, and my mom replied, "When Bette Midler tells you to do it over, you do it over."

  38. S.... B....

    annie snapped

  39. Q.... ....

    This is the best performance of Rose’s Turn I’ve seen. Nothing else compares.

  40. s.... ....

    My god. How *fabulous* is Bette Miller?!?! #inlove

  41. I.... A....

    Is this a movie?

    I.... A....

    It was a TV movie back in the early 90s. It's based off a true story that was made into a Broadway show in the 50s,a movie in the 70s and is currently being remade again.

  42. D.... H....

    You can find something wonderful in all of the"big" Rose interpretations, but honest-to-god she was waiting for Bette. I had some problems with this production but NOT BETTE MIDLER. So good she brings tears of joy.

  43. T.... W....

    This is pure brilliance. Musical theater doing best what musical theater can do.

  44. M.... M....

    Classic narcissism.

  45. S.... N....

    "FOR ME!!!...FOR ME!!!...FOR ME!!!!"
    😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

  46. f.... k....

    This could be Hillary Clinton's official election song :)) lol.

  47. J.... K....

    Yup...Bette's got it!

  48. h.... e....

    Belle prestation très belle. Elle joue bien et chante bien.

  49. F.... O....

    The song writers are fantastic!

  50. V.... S....

    Disappointed. I had though the Divine Miss M could deliver on this sontg and I looked forward to her. I so much prefer Rosalind Russell's interpretation. For one thing Roz carried it off with class and grace, every inch the lady despite the burlesque. Bette is too much of a sleaze here, overdoing the bump and grind. Roz was truer to the song at moments defiant, victorious, doubtful, and even tender. Bette is merely harsh throughout and she has far more vocal and acting range than is shown here.

  51. T.... ....

    Couldn't the director reign her in? I don't for one moment believe she believes she's Mama Rose. There must not have been a bit of scenery without her teeth marks in it.

  52. b.... m....

    Bette MIDGET 😊 Too SHORT to do the "STRIPPER'S STRUT" down the stage. Looks more like the
    MIDGET'S HUMP😁😁

  53. D.... D....

    She's so incredible!

  54. J.... A....

    just googled the time this came out, it was the same for hocus pocus, now I get the hair and the joke gains incredible weight ( btw if you google the straight time then it says 1982 and it's not the same gypsy, I googled all of her movies and then scrolled )

  55. S.... ....

    This movie was praised by critics and won positive reviews. Jule Styne, the composer of the original Broadway show, said, "I'm so excited. I just watched a tape of the movie and I cried. It is the most outstanding singing and acting performance I've seen on the screen within memory." The movie won several awards. Bette Midler won a Golden Globe for Best Actress-Television Film, Cynthia Gibb was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, and the production was nominated for Best Television Film. The movie was nominated for 12 Emmys. Bette Midler was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Television Movie, and the movie won an Emmy for Outstanding Musical Direction.

  56. C.... C....

    She's so hot... Like, not in a weird way though. Like, she's so spicy and spunky but like she knows when to change emotion in a snap. She's amazingly amazing in her own way and I love it.

  57. M.... H....

    She is a god :)

  58. L.... W....

    Glee fans need to get the fuck off this channel.

  59. A.... ....

    Dear all the Kurt lovers...Love Kurt. Kurt is awesome. Just remember the Miss M and the Kurt are chalk and cheese. You have to understand it’s very different.

    I love Bernadette and I love Bette. Those are my faves. Come for me all you like but I’ve been a fan of Bette since I was eight years old. You’re not gonna change me now

  60. L.... G....

    I'm here just because kurt's performance !💖

  61. s.... ....

    Frightening levels of narcissism, but soo gooood! :-O

    s.... ....

    Context

  62. E.... B....

    OMG i just realized the bit in focus pocus is from this "hello Salem my names Winnifred whats yours"

  63. J.... D....

    I'm sure Midler could have been a powerful Rose on stage, but her performance is just too big and too broad for film, and she's not helped by the over-wrought choreography and lacklustre direction. It's all a bit too drag queeny.

    J.... D....

    It just depends on how you look at it ;)

    J.... D....

    You should know. I saw you perform at Minsky's. And your act is too big and too broad. And you're pretty over-wrought and lacklustre in your performance.

  64. S.... L....

    2019 ♥️

  65. D.... H....

    1:40 HOCUS POCUS

  66. H.... ....

    And this is why she's a queen!! 😍 Complain all you want about her stopping the show to do a scene over, when Bette is good, she's GREAT!

    Boy, she got it!!

  67. T.... R....

    the theater - empty 😂

  68. A.... 9....

    Same person who played Georgette in OaC
    YOUR AMAZING
    ALL OF YOU BROADWAY LEGENDS
    YOU NEED YOUR OWN OSCARS

  69. M.... H....

    glee lovers: 2:49

  70. B.... E....

    She over-acted I thought...

    B.... E....

    Brent Edwards ummm it’s vaudeville and burlesque... overacting is part of the deal

    B.... E....

    You over reacted, I thought...

  71. J.... Y....

    From 2:56 she reminds me of that crazy bitch from Annie that basically tortures all the kids

  72. J.... Y....

    Did she write this musical? Or just the songs?

    J.... Y....

    Jule Styne wrote the songs. He also wrote the songs for Funny Girl. And many other great Broadway shows.

  73. G.... I....

    All that work and what did it get me?
    Why did I do it?
    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, Dad
    It wasn't for me, Dad
    And if it wasn't for me
    Then where would you be,
    Miss Rachel Berry?
    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 Kurt!
    Everything's coming up Hummel!
    Everything's coming up Kurt
    This time for me!
    For me! For me! For me!
    For me! For me! For me!

  74. J.... K....

    "My name is Winifr---Rose! What's yours!?"

  75. P.... I....

    IT WASN'T FOR ME, DAD

  76. C.... G....

    My go to song, when I'm frustrated with my showbiz career...

  77. S.... w....

    1:40

    Hello Salem, my name is Winifred!
    What's yours?

  78. W.... P....

    1:39 HOCUS...POCUS...?

  79. M.... J....

    oml why are people comparing kurt and bette midler they’re completely different in almost every way

    M.... J....

    Madelaine Josephine thank you!!!!

  80. M.... A....

    She's no Rosalind Russell.

    M.... A....

    Thank goodness. Rosalind Russell was the worst Madame Rose in history. She was terrible.

  81. R.... ....

    This is my don’t mess with me song

  82. L.... V....

    we love her.

  83. L.... L....

    Now I get her super power : she's not afraid to looked over the top, ridiculous and unreal... Which lead us to believe that what ever she portrayed is real, like nothing put up there, just her and her over the top ass

  84. c.... d....

    that was awesome

  85. P.... T....

    She is so beautiful I just adore her!

  86. e.... .....

    Kurt rocked this song on Glee. Lip sync or not, he actually does sing like that. i love this version too. At least she sing more of the story for the song

  87. D.... S....

    2:58 starts the best part in my opinion

  88. M.... C....

    1:43 omg hocus pocus made a reference

    M.... C....

    Yaaaaaassss!
    "Hello Salem! My names Winifred! What's yours!"

    M.... C....

    Marrythenightgaga101 she even did the same hand movement 😂

  89. G.... ....

    Best Rose imo, and the best rendition of this song!

  90. K.... M....

    Patti is better

  91. c.... ....

    My names Winifred, what’s yours!?

  92. K.... L....

    If it wasn’t for me, then where would you be, Miss Rachel Berry?

  93. J.... S....

    God knows I was with Bette Midler And Bette was With Me ..

  94. A.... S....

    I love the part at 3:42
