Liza Minnelli — Im One Of The Smart Ones Live

I'm one of the smart ones! I got it all figured! You won't find me In one of them broken down flats Commanding an army of brats Not me You won't catch me Bent over and ready to scrub Some grimy old ring in a tub Not me! Got it figured Got it planned! How's my future? Grand! You won't see me Whenever the dinner is through With mountains of dishes to do Not me That's for some dumb someone else Not me My Daddy used to tell me When I was barely three Or (Back in the old teepee,) Lay down with the dog And you wake up with the flea Pick out the brave with wampum All the rest is talk; Only a brave with wampum Buys a good tomahawk Lovin' is like a horse race: You'll have a valued hide If you remain a filly Only winners can ride Daddy, I learned my lesson Daddy, I'm cutting loose Daddy, I'm gonna make you proud Of this papoose I'm one of the smart ones I got it all figured You won't find me Tied down to some boozy old slob Who's chronically out of a job Not me! You won't catch me Uncapping a bottle or beer And figuring Christmas is here Not me! Got it figured Soon or late... I'll be doing great! Great! Great, great... And when you see me Hobnobbin' on top of the town My emeralds weighin' me down You'll cry "There goes baby! Ain't she flyin' high..."
