Everybody's Got the Right Songtext
von Stephen Sondheim

Hey, pal
Feeling blue?
Don′t know what to do?
Hey, pal
I mean you
Yeah
Come here and kill a President

No job?
Cupboard bare?
One room
No one there?
Hey, pal
Don't despair
You wanna shoot a President?
Come on and shoot a President

Some guys think they can′t be winners
First prize often goes to rank beginners

How much?


Four-fifty
Iver Johnson, .32
Rubber handles, owls stamped on the side-

Alright, give me

Hey, kid
Failed your test?
Dream girl unimpressed?
Show her you're the best
If you can shoot a President
You can get the prize with the big, blue eyes
Skinny little thighs
And those big, blue eyes

Mister?

Everybody's got the right to be happy
Don′t stay mad
Life′s not as bad as it seems
If you keep your goal in sight
You can climb to any height
Everybody's got the right to their dreams

Deal!

Mister?

I said deal


You wait your turn

It is my turn!

I was here first (alright, watch it, no violence)

Hey, fella
Feel like you′re a failure?
Bailiff on your tail?
Your wife run out for good?
Hey, fella
Feel misunderstood?
Come here and kill a President

Okay!

Marron!

Oh, what's-a wrong, boy?
Boss-a treat you crummy?
Trouble with your tummy?
This-a bring you some relief
Here, give some hail-a to the chief

You give me prize?

Anything you want

I want the prize
You give me prize?

Only eight bucks
Cheap for anything you want

Everybody′s got the right to be... different
Even though at times they go to extremes
Aim for what you want a lot
Everybody gets a shot
Everybody's got the right to their dreams

Yo, baby
Looking for a thrill?
The Ferris Wheel is that way
No, baby, this requires skill
Okay, you wanna give it a try

Jeez, lady
Give the guy some room
The Bumper Cars are that way
Please, lady
Don′t forget that guns can go, "boom"

Hey, gang
Look who's here
There's our pioneer
Hey, chief
Loud and clear

Everybody′s got the right to be happy
Say, "enough"
It′s not as tough as it seems
Don't be scared you won′t prevail
Everybody's free to fail
No one can be put in jail for their dreams

Free country

Means your dreams can come true

Be a scholar

Make a dollar

Free country

Means they listen to you

Scream and holler

Grab ′em by the collar

Free country

Means you don't have to sit

That′s it!

And put up with their shit

Everybody's got the right to some sunshine
(Everybody)
Not the sun
But maybe one of its beams (one of its beams)
Rich man, poor man
Black or white
Pick your apple, take a bite
Everybody, just hold tight to your dreams
Everybody's got the right
To their dreams
