Текст песни There's No Business Like Show Business - Studio Cast Recording

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 costumes, the scenery, the make-up, the props
The audience that lifts you when you're down
The headaches, the heartaches, the backaches, the flops
The sheriff who'll escort 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 work before the show has started
That your favorite uncle died at dawn
Tell us that your pa and ma have parted
You're broken hearted, but you go on

There's no people like show people
They don't run out of dough
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

Traveling through the country will be thrilling
Standing out in front on opening night
Smiling as you watch the theater filling
And there's your billing out there in lights

There's no business like show business
Like no business we know
Schedules 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
Let's go on with the show
