There's No Business Like Show Business
There's no business like show business Like no business I know
Ev'rything about it is appealing Ev'rything the traffic will allow Nowhere could you have that happy feeling When you are stealing that extra bow
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
The cowboys, the wrestlers, the tumblers, the clowns The roustabouts that move the show at dawn The music, the spotlight, the people, the towns Your baggage with the labels pasted on The sawdust and the horses and the smell The towel you've taken from the last hotel
There's no business like show business Like no business I know
You get word before the show has started That your fav'rite uncle died at dawn 'Top of that your ma and pa have parted You're broken-hearted but you go on
There's no people like show people Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com They don't run out of dough
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
The costumes, the scenery, the make-up, the props The audience that lifts you when you're down The headaches, the heartaches, the backaches, the flops The sheriff who escorts you out of town The op'ning when your heart beats like a drum The closing when the customers won't come
There's no business like show business Like no business I know
Ev'rything about it is appealing Ev'rything the traffic will allow Nowhere could you have 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 for a sack of gold Let's go on with the show Let's go on with the show
