There’s no bus-‘ness like show bus-‘ness
5 7 5 5 5 6
Like no bus-‘ness I know
-4 5 -5 6 -6 7 -7 -8 8 8
Ev-‘ry-thing a-bout it is ap-peal-ing
-4 5 -5 6 -6 7 -7 -8 8
Ev-‘ry-thing the traf-fic will al-low
-4 5 -5 6 -6 7 -7 -8 8 8
No-where could you get that hap-py feel-ing
-7 -8 8 -9 -9 -8 -7 -8 -7
When you are steal-ing that ex-tra bow
7 8 5 5 5 7 5 5
There’s no peo-ple like show peo-ple
5 7 5 5 5 -7
They smile when they are low
-5 6 -6 7 -7 -8 8 -9 10 10 9*
Ev-en with a tur-key that you know will fold
-7 -9 -9 -8 -7 7 8 8 -7
You may be strand-ed out in the cold
-5 6 -6 7 -7 -8 8 -9 10 10 9*
Still you would-n’t change it for a sack of gold

Let’s go on with the show
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 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
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
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 your billing out there in lights
There’s no people like show people
They don’t run out of dough
Angels come from ev’rywhere 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
