There’s No Business Like Show Business William O'Neal, Marty May, Ray Middleton & Ethel Merman

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Refrain]
Thе cowboys, the wrestlers, thе tumblers, the clowns
The roustabouts that move the show at dawn
The music, the spotlights, the people, the towns
Your baggage with the labels pasted on
The sawdust and the horses and the smell
The towel you've taken from the last hotel

[Verse 3]
There's no business like show business
Like no business I know
You get word before the show has started
That your favorite uncle died at dawn
Top of that, your pa and ma have parted
You're broken-hearted, but you go on
