Show Time

Show Time - Dinah Washington

Written by：Neal Hefti/Joe Lubin

The world is a show place

We all know that for a fact

How how the world is a show place

We all know that for a fact

You think you're playin' your part

But you don't know how to act

Now you want to be an actor

But you're not playin' your part

How could you wanna be an actor

When you don't even know your part

You're playing with your hair

And I'm playin' with my heart

I can show you better

Than any words can say

For when I get through lovin'

Baby you'll have to play my way

World is a show place

We all know that for a fact

You think you're playin' your part

But you don't know how to act

I practiced on your line

And learned to say them right

'Cause you'll be playin' my way

Before tomorrow night

Yes the world is a show place

We all know that's a fact

You think you're playin' your part

But you don't know how to act

Well don't think I'm being funny

And don't think I'm being bold

Yes baby you gotta play it my way

'Cause I've got you under my control

You gotta play it my way

'Cause Dinah's got the lead in the role
