The cowboys, the wrestlers, the tumblers, the clowns
 The roustabouts that move the show at dawn

 ANNIE OAKLEY:
 The music, the spotlights, the people, the towns
 Your baggage with the labels pasted on

 FRANK BUTLER:
 The sawdust and the horses and the smell

 ANNIE OAKLEY:
 The towel you've taken from the last hotel

 ANNIE OAKLEY, FRANK BUTLER and CHORUS:
 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
 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 o' gold
 Let's go on with the show
 Let's go on with the show!

 ANNIE OAKLEY and FRANK BUTLER:
 They say that falling in love is wonderful
 It's wonderful, so they say.
 And with a moon up above it's wonderful
 It's wonderful, so they tell me.

 ANNIE OAKLEY:
 I can't recall who said it

 FRANK BUTLER:
 I know I never read it
 I only know that falling in love is grand

 And to hold a girl in your arms
 Is wonderful,

 ANNIE OAKLEY:
 Wonderful...

 ANNIE OAKLEY and FRANK BUTLER:
 In every way
 So they say
