1
The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk
2
Are secretly unhappy men because
3
The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk
4
Get paid for what they do but no applause
5
They'd gladly bid their dreary jobs goodbye
6
For anything theatrical and why
7
There's no business like show business
8
Like no business I know
9
Everything about it is appealing
10
Everything the traffic will allow
11
Nowhere could you get that happy feeling
12
When you are stealing that extra bow
13
There's no people like show people
14
They smile when they're low
15
Even with a turkey that you know will fold
16
You may be stranded out in the cold
17
Still you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold
18
Let's go on with the show
19
The costumes, the scenery, the makeup, the props
20
The audience that lifts you when you're down
21
The headaches, the heartaches, the backaches, the flops
22
The sheriff that escorts you out of town
23
The opening when your heart beats like a drum
24
The closing when the customers won't come
25
There's no business like show business
26
Like no business I know
27
You get word the show has started
28
That your favorite uncle died at dawn
29
Top of that your pa and ma have parted
30
You're broken hearted but you go on
31
There's no people like show people
32
They never ever run out of dough
33
Yesterday they told you you would not go far
34
That night you opened and there you are
35
Next day on your dressing room they hung a star
36
Let's go on with the show
