Testi Soundtracks :: A

FRANK BUTLER:

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.
