There's No Business Like Show Business - Remastered 2010 / Bonus Track

Lyrics

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
 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
 Even when they tell you that your show 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 cowboys, the tumblers, the wrestlers, the clowns
 The roustabouts who 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 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 opened and there you are
 Next day, on your dressing room they've hung the star
 Let's go on with the show
