There’s No Business Like Show Business - Ambrosian Chorus / London Symphony Orch.

There's No Business Like Show Business - Ambrosian Chorus/London Symphony Orch.
The cowboys the wrestlers the tumblers the clowns
The roustabouts that move the show at dawn
The music the spotlights 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
There's no business like show business
Like no business I know
Everything about it is appealing
Everything the traffic will allow
No where could you have that happy feeling
When you aren't 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 opened and there you are
Next day on your dressing room they've hung a star
Let's go on with the show
The costumes the scenery the makeup 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 opening when your heart beats like a drum
The closing when the customers won't come
There's no business like show business
Like no business I know
You get word the show has started
That your favorite uncle died at dawn
Top of that your pa and ma have parted
You're broken hearted but you go on
There's no people like show people
They don't when they are low
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
There's no business like show business
You tell me it's so
Traveling through the country will be thrilling
Standing out in front on opening nights
Smiling as you watch the theater filling
And there's 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 it for a sack of gold
Let's go on with the show
Let's go on with the show
