Lyrics for Theres No Business Like Show Business by Irving Berlin:
| | | Artist: | Irving Berlin |
| | Album: | Annie Get Your Gun (Musical | | Track: | Theres No Business Like Show Business | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 84 | | | | Lyrics: | MEN'S CHORUS:
The costumes, the scenery, the makeup, the props
The audience that lifts
you when you're down
WOMEN'S CHORUS:
The headaches, the heartaches, the
backaches, the flops
The sheriff who escorts you out of town
MEN'S CHORUS:
The opening when your heart beats like a drum
WOMEN'S CHORUS:
The
closing when the customers won't come
ALLS:
There's no business like show
business
Like no business I know
MEN'S CHORUS:
Everything about it is
appealing
WOMEN'S CHORUS:
Everything the traffic will allow
MEN'S CHORUS:
No where could you have that happy feeling
ALLL:
When you
aren't stealing that extra bow
There's no people like show people
They smile when they
are low
MEN'S CHORUS:
Yesterday they told you you would not go far
WOMEN'S CHORUS:
That night you opened and there you are
MEN'S CHORUS:
Next day on your dressing room they've hung a star
ALL:
Let's go on
with the show
MEN'S CHORUS:
The cowboys, the wrestlers, the tumblers, the
clowns
The roustabouts that move the show at dawn
WOMEN'S CHORUS:
The
music, the spotlights, the people, the towns
Your baggage with the labels pasted on
MEN'S CHORUS:
The sawdust and the horses and the smell
WOMEN'S CHORUS:
The towel you've taken from the last hotel
ALL:
There's no business
like show business
If you tell me it's so
Traveling through the country is so
thrilling
Standing out in front on opening nights
Smiling as you watch the benches
filling
And see your billing up there in lights
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 trade it for a sack o' gold
Let's go on with the show
Let's go on with the show!
The show!
