There's No Business Like Show Business (Reprise) |
| 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! |
