Give My Regards to Broadway

There's no business like show business like no business I know

Everything about it is appealing everything that 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 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

The butcher the baker the grocer the clerk

Are secretly unhappy men because

The butcher the baker the grocer 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 and I tell you it's so

Traveling through the country is so 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

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 like no business I know

You get word before 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 smile when they are low

Yesterday they told you you would not go far that night you open and there you are

Next day on your dressing room they've hung a star let's go on with the show
