[00:08.085]The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk
[00:14.276]Are secretly unhappy men because
[00:19.840]The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk
[00:25.247]Get paid for what they do but no applause
[00:30.785]They'd gladly bid their dreary jobs goodbye
[00:37.420]For anything theatrical and why
[00:43.664]There's no business like show business
[00:50.377]Like no business,
[00:53.329]I knowEverything about it is appealing
[01:01.192]Everything, the traffic will allow
[01:07.984]Nowhere could you get that happy feeling
[01:12.477]When you are stealing that extra bow
[01:18.537]There's no people like show people
[01:24.206]They smile when they're low
[01:30.318]Even with a turkey that you know will fold
[01:35.700]You may be stranded out in the cold
[01:41.603]Still you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold
[01:46.906]Let's go on with the show
[01:54.116]
[02:02.815]The costumes, the scenery, the makeup, the props
[02:09.136]The audience that lifts you when you're down
[02:14.021]The headaches, the heartaches, the backaches, the flops
[02:21.414]The sheriff who escorts you out of town
[02:27.370]The opening when your heart beats like a drum
[02:34.083]The closing when the customers won't come
[02:41.058]There's no business like show business
[02:47.797]Like no business,
[02:50.775]I knowYou get word before the show has started
[02:59.866]That your favorite uncle died at dawn
[03:04.960]Top of that, your pa and ma have parted
[03:09.897]You're broken hearted but you go on
[03:15.748]Ooh, there's no people like show people
[03:21.365]They smile when they're low
[03:27.739]Yesterday, they told you, "You would not go far"
[03:32.989]That night you opened and there you are
[03:39.102]Next day, on your dressing room they've hung the star
[03:44.170]Let's go on with the show
