(Young - Young - Scott)

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



You pay the man

You pay your dues

When it's all gone, ooh

You sing the blues



Show business (Show business)

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 smoking butts

They smoke cigars

You're drown 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

That's show business, show business, show business

That's the way it goes

Know what I mean
