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!!
