41-Rose's Turn
As sung by Kurt Hummel (Originally by Ethel Merman)
Season 1 Episode 18: Laryngitis
Fun Fact: Only a small portion of the song is sung in the episode. Some of the lyrics was changed to fit Kurt's storyline. These are the lines which were changed:
1) "Everything's coming up Rose; everything's coming up Rose's" is changed to "Everything's coming up Kurt; everything's coming up Hummel."
2) "June" and "Herbie" were changed to "Dad."
3) "Gypsy Rose Lee" was changed to "Rachel Berry" as a possible reference to Kurt the Defying Gravity diva-off in Wheels.
Lyrics:
Kurt:
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 you?
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 (ha ha ha ha ha)!
For me!
For me!
For me!
For me!
For me!
Fooooor meeeeeeee! Yeeaaah!
