Karaoké There's No Business Like Show Business La joyeuse parade (Ethel Merman)

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

Everything about it is appealing

Everything that traffic will allow

Nowhere could 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

Still you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold

Let's go on with the show

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

Traveling through the country will be thrilling

Standing out in front on opening nights

Smiling as you watch the theatre filling

And there's your billing out there in lights

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 there 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
