I'm One Of The Smart Ones (live) Lyrics - Legends Of Broadway: Liza Minnelli Live At Winter Garden - Liza Minnelli

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

Listen To Selena Gomez' New Song 'Wolves' 

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..."
