Curtains movie - Show People lyrics
rate me<br>
Cioffi:<br>
You're a special kind of people known as show people<br>
You live in a world of your own<br>
The audience paid plenty to sit there and clap<br>
Hearing you sing<br>
Watching you tap<br>
Did you know your dentist longs to be in show business?<br>
Your window washer wants to be a star<br>
And though your analyst may never couch it that way -<br>
<br>
Carmen:<br>
(spoken) Analyst - Couch!<br>
<br>
Cioffi:<br>
-You don't know how lucky you are<br>
Some policemen and detectives dream of show business<br>
They can't get arrested but still<br>
They sit around the station and fancy this life.<br>
They jeer Sherlock Holmes and <br>
Cheer Mack the Knife.<br>
<br>
Carmen:<br>
Ask your cleaning lady, "Don't you dream of show business<br>
To vocalize or stretch beside a barre?"<br>
<br>
Cioffi:<br>
Her affirmative shrug<br>
As she shampoos your rug<br>
<br>
Both:<br>
Lets you know how luck you are!<br>
<br>
Oscar, Cioffi, and Carmen:<br>
There's a special kind of aura 'Round a show person<br>
(Just ask the next waiter you meet)<br>
<br>
Belling:<br>
He walks in fifth position<br>
His voice is just grand<br>
<br>
Georgia:<br>
He gives you the check<br>
You give him a hand<br>
<br>
All of them:<br>
If the boys in valet parking turned to show business<br>
They could scalp a higher ticket for your car<br>
<br>
Oscar:<br>
And my tree surgeon now<br>
Started taking a bough<br>
(spoken) A bough, get it? b-o-u-g--<br>
<br>
The rest:<br>
-Don't know how lucky you are<br>
<br>
Company:<br>
We're a special kind of people known as show people<br>
We live in a world of our own<br>
Our days are tied to curtains<br>
They rise and they fall<br>
We're born every night<br>
At Half-hour call<br>
We can't picture being anything but show people<br>
Civilians find the whole thing quite bizarre<br>
But that hop in our hearts<br>
When the overture starts<br>
Helps us know how lucky we are!<br>
<br>
Carmen:<br>
(spoken) All right - EVERYBODY<br>
<br>
Full company:<br>
It's an honor and a joy to be in show business<br>
I feel that spotlight hit me and I'm gone<br>
At the last curtain call<br>
I'm the envy of all<br>
So I know the show must <br>
<br>
Carmen:<br>
Go on!<br>
<br>
Company:<br>
So Thrilling! We're show people!<br>
<br>
Carmen:<br>
And on!<br>
<br>
Company:<br>
So Willing! We're show people!<br>
<br>
Carmen:<br>
And on!<br>
<br>
Company:<br>
So Thrilling that show people<br>
<br>
All:<br>
GO ON!<br>
<br>
