歌曲歌詞
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 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 and I tell you it's so
Traveling through the country is so thrilling standing out in front on opening nights
Smiling as you watch the theater filling and there's your billing out there in lights
There's no people like show people they smile when they are low
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 cowboys the wrestlers the tumblers the clowns
The roustabouts that move the show at dawn
The music the spotlights 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
The costumes the scenery the makeup 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 opening 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
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 open and there you are
Next day on your dressing room they've hung a star let's go on with the show
