ICharliel The cowboys
The wrestlers

The tumblers, the clowns
The roustabouts
That move the show at dawn
lBuFfalo Billl The music
The spotlights
The people, the towns

Your baggage
With the labels pasted on
Frankl The sawdust and the horses
And the smell

The towel you've taken
From the last hotel.
IAIII There's no business
Like show business,

Like no business I know
IBuFfan Billl Everything about it
Is appealing

ICharliel Everything the traffic
Will allow
IFrankl Nowhere could you have
That happy feelin'

When you are stealin'
That extra bow.
lAIIl There's no people
Like show people

They smile when they are low
ICharliel Yesterday they told you
You would not go far

IBuffalo Billl That night you open
And there you are
lFrankl Next day
On your dressing room

TheYve hung a star
IAIII Let's go on with the show.
IBuFfan Billl The costumes
The scenery

The make-up, the props
The audience that lifts you
When you're down
ICharliel The headaches
The heanaches

The backaches. the flops

The sheriff
Who escorts you out of town
lFrankl The opening
When your heart beats like a drum

The closing

When the customers won't come.
IAlll There's no business

Like show business
Like no business I know
ICharliel You getword
Before the show has started

That your favorite uncle
Died at dawn
IFrankl Top of that
Your Ma and Pa have parted
You're broken-hearted

But you go on.
lAIIl There's no people
Like show people

They don't run out of dough
ICharliel Angels come from
Everywhere

With lots of jack
IBuFfalo Billl And when you lose it
There's no attack
IFrankl Where could you get money
That you don't give back?

IAIII Let's go on with the show.
IAnniel There's no business
Like show business

If you tell me ifs so
IFrankl Traveling through
The country is so thrilling

lBuFfalo Billl Standing out
In front on opening nights
ICharliel Smiling as you watch
The benches filling

And there's your billing
Out there in lights.
IAnniel There's no people
Like show people

They smile when they are low
ICharliel Even with the turkey
That you know will close

IBuffalo Billl You may be stranded
Out in the cold
IFrankl Still you wouldn't
Change it for a sack of gold

IAIII Let's go on with the show!
Let's go on with the show!
