Irving Berlin - Finale lyrics

The cowboys, the wrestlers, the tumblers
The clowns
The roustabouts that move the show at dawn

The music, the spotlights, the people
The towns
Your baggage with the labels pasted on

The sawdust and the horses and the smell

The towel you've taken from the last hotel

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!

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

I can't recall who said it

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

Wonderful

In every way so they say
