Songtexte There's No Business Like Show Business - Mary Martin & John Raitt

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

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
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
They say that falling in love is wonderful
It's wonderful, so they say
And with a moon up above, it's wonderful
It's wonderful, so they tell me

I can't recall who said it

I know I never read it
I only know that falling in love is grand
And to hold a girl in your arms is wonderful

Wonderful

In every way, so they say
