There's No Business Like Show Business - and what a great attitude to have!

from 'Love's Labours Lost', performed by Nathan Lane

The butcher, the baker, the groccer, the clerk
Are secretly unhappy men because
The butcher, the baker, the groccer, the clerk
Get paid for what they do but no applause

They'd gladly bid their dreary jobs goodbye
For anything theatrical and why?

There's no business like show business
Like no business I know
Everything about it is appealing
Everything the traffic will allow
Nowhere could you get that happy feeling
When you are stealing that extra bow

There's no people like show people
They smile when they are low
Even with the turkey that you know will fold
You may be stranded out in the cold
Still you wouldn't trade it for a sack of gold
Let's go on with the show!
Let's go on with the show!

There's no business like show business
If you tell me it's so
You get word before the show has started
That your favourite uncle died at dawn
On top of that your Ma and Pa have parted
(NO! MAMA! PAPA! MAMA! PAPA!)
You're broken-hearted
But you go on...

There's no people like show people
They smile when they are low
Yesterday they told you you were not the part
That night you opened and there you are
Next day on your dressing room they plant a star
Let's go on with the show!
Let's go on with the show!
