[1st verse:] The cowboys, the wrestlers, the tumblers, the clowns The roustabouts that move the show at dawn The music, the spotlight, 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
[1st refrain:] There's no business like show business Like no business I know
Ev'rything about it is appealing Ev'rything the traffic will allow Nowhere could you have that happy feeling When you are stealing that extra bow
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
[2nd verse:] The costumes, the scenery, the make-up, the props The audience that lifts you when you're down The headaches, the heartaches, the backaches, the flops The sheriff who escorts you out of town The op'ning when your heart beats like a drum The closing when the customers won't come
[2nd refrain:] There's no business like show business Like no business I know
You get word before the show has started That your fav'rite uncle died at dawn 'Top of that your ma and pa have parted You're broken-hearted but you go on
There's no people like show people They don't run out of dough
Angels come from everywhere with lots of jack And when you lose it there's no attack Where could you get money that you don't give back? Let's go on with the show
[3rd refrain:] There's no business like show business If you tell me it's so
Trav'ling thro' the country will be thrilling Standing out in front on opening nights Smiling as you watch the benches filling And see your billing out there in lights
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 for a sack of gold Let's go on with the show Let's go on with the show
[Reprise:] There's no business like show business Like no business I know
All made up and soon you'll be appearing Ev'ry bit of nervousness is gone Then the sound that's music to your hearing To hear them cheering when you come on
There's no people like show people They smile when they are low
How I wish the folks at home could only see What's come to Annie, how proud they'd be Gettin' paid for doin' what comes natur'lly Let's go on with the show
[Alternate Verse:] 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 good-bye For anything theatrical and why
[Alternate lines:] How you worried using half the night up Waiting 'til the morning papers came What a moment when your face will light up To see the write-up and see your name
Everything inside you starts to shake up When your picture in the news appears And the thrill each morning when you wake up With daubs of make-up behind your ears
[Alternate version written for Mary Martin When she played Dallas, Texas, in 1955:] There's no business like show business Like no business I know
Playing Broadway at the famous Palace Don't compare with this, it's simply grand. Ask me how I feel to be in Dallas; Like little Alice in Wonderland.
There's no people like show people, They smile when they are low.
Who'd have thought when I was on my mother's knee I'd be in Texas? But here I be Gettin' paid for doin' what comes natur'lly: Let's go on with the show.
