| Lyrics: | There's no business like show business like no business I know
Everything about it is appealing,
everything that traffic will allow
Nowhere could you get that happy feeling when you are
stealing that extra bow
There's no people like show people, they smile when they are
low
Even with a turkey that you know will fold, you may be stranded out in the cold
Still
you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold, let's go on with the show
The butcher,
the baker, the grocer, the clerk
Are secretly unhappy men because
The butcher, the
baker, the grocer, the clerk
Get paid for what they do but no applause.
They'd
gladly bid their dreary jobs goodbye for anything theatrical and why?
There's no business
like show business and I tell you it's so
Traveling through the country is so thrilling,
standing out in front on opening nights
Smiling as you watch the theater filling, and there's
your billing out there in lights
There's no people like show people, they smile when they
are low
Angels come from everywhere with lots of jack, and when you lose it, there's no
attack
Where could you get money that you don't give back? Let's go on with the
show
(There's no business like show business like no business I know)
You get word
before the show has started that your favorite uncle died at dawn
Top of that, your pa and ma
have parted, you're broken-hearted, but you go on
(There's no people like show people, they
smile when they are low)
Yesterday they told you you would not go far, that night you open and
there you are
Next day on your dressing room they've hung a star, let's go on with the show!! |
