Lyrics
There's no business like show business Like no business I know Everything about it is appealing Everything the 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 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 spotlights, the people, the towns Your packages, 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 favorite 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 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 Everything about it is appealing Everything the traffic will allow No where could you have that happy feeling When you aren't 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
