There's no business like show business Like no business I know Everything about it is appealing Everything the traffic will allow Nowhere can you get that happy feeling When you are stealing that extra bow There's no people like show 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 Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages I am Colonel Buffalo Bill Cody The owner and founder of the most famous Wild West show on earth You are now going to see my own personal version of the tempestuous and romantic story Of Annie Oakley and Frank Butler And here's an handsome and dashing leadin' man Mister Frank Butler There's no business like show business Like no business I know How you worry using half the night up Waiting 'til the morning papers came What a moment when your face would light up To see the write up and find your name This Frank Butler's fearless assistant, the lovely miss (?) The costumes, the scenery, the makeup, the props The audience that lifts you when you're down The headaches, the heartaches, the back aches, the plots The sheriff who escorts you out of town The opening when your heart beats like a drum The closing when the customers don't come There's no business like show business Like no business I know Everything inside me starts to shake up When your picture in the news appears And the thrillish morning when you wake up With lots of make up behind your ears There's no people like show 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 When you get money that you don't get back Let's go on with the show Ladies and gentlemen The heart stoppin', knives throwin' team of Killer And Tate There's no business like show business If you tell me it so There's no business like show business There's no business like show business There's no business like show business Like no business I know There's no business like show business Like no business I know Travelling through the country is so thrilling (Travelling through the country is so thrilling) Standing out in front on opening nights (Standing out in front on opening nights) Smiling as you watch the benches filling And there's your billing up there in lights In lights There's no people like show 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
