There's No Business, Like Show Business 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
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
Papa and your ma 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 butcher, the banker, the grocer, the clerk
Are secretly unhappy men because
The butcher, the banker, 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
If you tell me it's so
Traveling through the country will be thrilling
Standing out in front on opening night
Smiling as you watch the theatre filling
And there's 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 change it for a sack of gold
Let's go on with the show
