Showbusiness

Say you wanna be in show business

See the man on the TV with a phoney smile

Bring you up, bring you down

He can turn your head around

In show business, show business

See the man on a silver screen

With the phoney smile

Bring you up, bring you down

He can turn your head around

Show business, show business

Have a hit, maybe two

Make mincemeat out of you

Come back in two years time

Lay your heart right on the line

In show business, show business

Show business, show business

Where's the next one?

Where's the next one?

Where's the next one?

Oh, baby just like the last one

Like the last one[Verse 4]

Say you wanna be in show business

See the man in the suit with the phoney smile

He can laugh, he can cry

He can make you reach the sky

He can say anything you wanna hear

Be anything you wanna be

You can say anything you want to hear

Be anything you want him to be

Make you leave your family

In show business, in show business

Take it to the bridge

And the next one

And the next one

And the next one

How can you do it like the last one?

Now do it just like the last one, please

Like the last one

Like the last one

Just like the last one

Say you wanna be in show business

Have a pretty face and a pretty smile

I'm thinking, make you laugh and they can make you cry

But they can't wait, wipe the tear drops from your eye

In show business, show business[Verse 6]

Say you wanna be in show business

See the rock star up on the stage right now

Behind them drugs, behind them booze

Behind them people he can use

Behind them people usin' them

Behind them people usin' us

And the next one

And the next one

And the next one

Can you make it just like the last one?

Oh, you make it just like the last one

Like the last one

Just like the last one

Say you wanna be in show business

All the world is a stage

Everybody must play their part

I've been so long in show business

I feel right now just like I got myself just started

Forget the junk, forget the jive

I just want to stay alive

In show business, in show business

Take it to the bridge[Chorus]

And the next one

And the next one

And the next one

Oh, just like the last one

Just like the last one

Like the last one

They can rob you with a fountain pen

But you got to find some honest men

They can make you leave your home

Where you go to waste and roam

Control your fate, control your life

They can make you leave your wife

It's show business, it's show business

Take it to the bridge

And the next one

And the next one

And the next one

Oh, just like the last one

Can you make it like the last one?

Can you give it one more time like the last one?

Can you put it out like the last one?

Show business, it's show business

It's show business, show business

It's show business, show business
