Lyrics There's No Business Like Showbusiness - Company, Ирвинг Берлин

There's No Business Like Showbusiness

The Cowboys, the wrestlers, the tumblers, the clowns
The roustabouts that move the show at dawn
The music, the splights, the people, the towns
Your baggage with the labbels pasted on
The saw dust, 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
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
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 a star
Let’s go, on with the show
The costumes, the scenary, the make-up, the props
The audience that lifts you when you’re down
The headaches, the heartaches, the backaches, the flops
The sheriff that escorts you out of town
The opening when your heart beats like a drum
The closing when the customers don’t come
There’s no business like show business
If you tell me it’s so
Travelling through the country is so thrilling
Standing out in front on opening nights
Smiling as you watch the dancers filling
And see ya 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
Let’s go on with the show
