The clown with his pants falling down

Or the dance that's a dream of romance

Or the scene where the villain is mean

That's Entertainment!

The lights on the lady in tights

Or the bride with the guy on the side

Or the ball where she gives him her all

That's Entertainment!

The plot can be hot simply teeming with sex

A gay divorcee who is after her ex

It can be Oedipus Rex

Where a ghost and a prince meet

And everyone ends in mincemeat

There's no business like show business

Like no business I know

Everything about it is appealing

Everything the tragic 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 a turkey that you know will fold

You may be stranded out in the cold

Still you wouldn't change for a sack of gold

Let's go on with the show

Let's go on with the show
