Lyrics There's No Business Like Show Business - Tom Wopat

There's no business like show business
Like no business I know
Everything about it is appealing
Everything the traffic will allow
Nowhere can you get that happy feeling
When you are stealing that extra bow
There's no people like show 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
How you worry using half the night up
Waiting 'til the morning papers came
What a moment when your face would light up
To see the write up and find your name
The costumes, the scenery, the makeup, the props
The audience that lifts you when you're down
The headaches, the heartaches, the back aches, the plots
The sheriff who 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
Like no business I know
Everything inside me starts to shake up
When your picture in the news appears
And the thrillish morning when you wake up
With lots of makeup behind your ears
There's no people like show people like show people
They don't run out of dough
Angels come from everywhere with lots of jack
And when you lose it there's no attack
When you get money that you don't get back
Let's go on with the show
There's no business like show business
If you tell me it's so
There's no business like show business
There's no business like show business
Like no business I know
Travelling through the country is so thrilling
Standing out in front on opening nights
Smiling as you watch the benches filling
And see your billing up there in lights
In lights
There's no people like show 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 trade it for a sack o' gold
Let's go on with the show!
