There's No Business Like Show Business - Musical (karaoke)

Confessions

MEN'S CHORUS:
The costumes, the scenery, the makeup, the props
The audience that lifts you when you're down

WOMEN'S CHORUS:
The headaches, the heartaches, the backaches, the flops
The sheriff who escorts you out of town

MEN'S CHORUS:
The opening when your heart beats like a drum

WOMEN'S CHORUS:
The closing when the customers won't come

ALLS:
There's no business like show business
Like no business I know

MEN'S CHORUS:
Everything about it is appealing

WOMEN'S CHORUS:
Everything the traffic will allow

MEN'S CHORUS:
No where could you have that happy feeling

ALLL:
When you aren't stealing that extra bow
There's no people like show people
They smile when they are low

MEN'S CHORUS:
Yesterday they told you you would not go far

WOMEN'S CHORUS:
That night you opened and there you are

MEN'S CHORUS:
Next day on your dressing room they've hung a star

ALL:
Let's go on with the show

MEN'S CHORUS:
The cowboys, the wrestlers, the tumblers, the clowns
The roustabouts that move the show at dawn

WOMEN'S CHORUS:
The music, the spotlights, the people, the towns
Your baggage with the labels pasted on

MEN'S CHORUS:
The sawdust and the horses and the smell

WOMEN'S CHORUS:
The towel you've taken from the last hotel

ALL:
There's no business like show business
If you tell me it's so
Traveling through the country is so thrilling
Standing out in front on opening nights
Smiling as you watch the benches filling
And see your billing up 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 trade it for a sack o' gold
Let's go on with the show
Let's go on with the show!
The show!
The show!
