Gitte Hænning There's No Business Like Showbusiness song lyrics

The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk

Are secretly unhappy men because

The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk

Get paid for what they do but no applause.

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

There's no business like, show business like, no business I know

Everything about it is appealing, everything that traffic will allow

Nowhere can 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

But you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold, let's go on with the show

The costum, the makeup, the cinneries, the probs, the audience that lifts you when you're down.

The headaches, the heartaches, the baggage, the flopps, the sheriff who has got you out of town!

The opening when your heart beets like a drum, the closing when the costumers dont come.

You get word before the show has started, that your favorite uncle died at dawn

On top of that, your ma and pa have parted, you're broken-hearted, but you go on, you go on!

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

Yesterday they told you you would not go far, that night you open and here you are

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

Let's go on with the show!!
