"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 passengers won't come 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 ... Let's go on with the show Let's go on with the show! The show! The show!" Anyone who thinks for a nanosec that this is anything but showbiz is a total idiot.
