Lyrics:

You learn to sing
You learn to play
Why don't the businessmen ever learn to pay?

That's show business
Show business
Show business
Show business
Show business
That's the way it goes

You play in halls
Play in bars
You're climbin' walls
Chasin' stars

That's show business
Show business
Show business
Show business
Show business
That's the way it goes

Ooh

You pay the man
You pay your dues
When it's all gone
Oh, you sing the blues

Show business
Show business
Baby, that's show business
Show business
Show business
That's the way it goes

You wanna roll
You wanna rock
You find it hard
If your guitar's in hock

That's show business
Show business
Show business
Show business
Show business
That's the way it goes


You're smokin' butts
They smoke cigars
You're drowned in debt
They drown in bars

That's show business
Show business
Show business
Show business
Show business
That's the way it goes

You pull a chick
Take her home
No use, man
You're worn out to the bone

That's show business
Show business
Show business
Show business
Show business
That's the way it goes


That's show business
Show business
Oh, that's show business
Show business
Show business
That's the way it goes

They're gonna be it
