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 becau-ause
The butcher, the baker, the grocer and the clerk
Get paid for what they do but no applause
They'd gladly bid their dreary jobs goodbye
For anything theatrical and why, why-y?
There's no business like show business
Like no business I know
You get word before the show has started
That your father died inside of 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
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 becau-ause The butcher, the baker, the grocer and the clerk Get paid for what they do but no applause They'd gladly bid their dreary jobs goodbye For anything theatrical and why, why-y? There's no business like show business Like no business I know You get word before the show has started That your father died inside of 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 Explain Request ×
