Confessions of a Dangerous Mind movie - There's No Business Like Show Business lyrics

rate me

Song by Rosemary Clooney<br /><br>

There's no business like show business like no business I know<br>

Everything about it is appealing, everything that traffic will allow<br>

Nowhere could you get that happy feeling when you are stealing that extra bow<br>

<br>

There's no people like show people, they smile when they are low<br>

Even with a turkey that you know will fold, you may be stranded out in the cold<br>

Still you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold, let's go on with the show<br>

<br>

The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk<br>

Are secretly unhappy men because<br>

The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk<br>

Get paid for what they do but no applause.<br>

They'd gladly bid their dreary jobs goodbye for anything theatrical and why?<br>

<br>

There's no business like show business and I tell you it's so<br>

Traveling through the country is so thrilling, standing out in front on opening nights<br>

Smiling as you watch the theater filling, and there's your billing out there in lights<br>

<br>

There's no people like show people, they smile when they are low<br>

Angels come from everywhere with lots of jack, and when you lose it, there's no attack<br>

Where could you get money that you don't give back? Let's go on with the show<br>

<br>

(There's no business like show business like no business I know)<br>

You get word before the show has started that your favorite uncle died at dawn<br>

Top of that, your pa and ma have parted, you're broken-hearted, but you go on<br>

<br>

(There's no people like show people, they smile when they are low)<br>

Yesterday they told you you would not go far, that night you open and there you are<br>

Next day on your dressing room they've hung a star, let's go on with the show!!<br>
