There's No Business Like Show Business - Annie Get Your Gun

There's No Business Like Show Business Lyrics

MEN'S CHORUS:
The costumes, the scenery, the makeup, the props
The audience that lifts you when you're downWOMEN'S CHORUS:
The headaches, the heartaches, the backaches, the flops
The sheriff who escorts you out of townMEN'S CHORUS:
The opening when your heart beats like a drumWOMEN'S CHORUS:
The closing when the customers won't comeALLS:
There's no business like show business
Like no business I knowMEN'S CHORUS:
Everything about it is appealingWOMEN'S CHORUS:
Everything the traffic will allowMEN'S CHORUS:
No where could you have that happy feelingALLL:
When you aren't stealing that extra bow
There's no people like show people
They smile when they are lowMEN'S CHORUS:
Yesterday they told you you would not go farWOMEN'S CHORUS:
That night you opened and there you areMEN'S CHORUS:
Next day on your dressing room they've hung a starALL:

Let's go on with the showMEN'S CHORUS:
The cowboys, the wrestlers, the tumblers, the clowns
The roustabouts that move the show at dawnWOMEN'S CHORUS:
The music, the spotlights, the people, the towns
Your baggage with the labels pasted onMEN'S CHORUS:
The sawdust and the horses and the smellWOMEN'S CHORUS:
The towel you've taken from the last hotelALL:
There's no business like show business
If you tell me it's so
Traveling 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 lightsThere'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 trade it for a sack o' gold
Let's go on with the show
Let's go on with the show!
The show!
The show!
