C F C F 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 Chorus: Dm Where's the next one? Em Where's the next one? F Where's the next one? G C F Oh, baby just like the last one C F Like the last one 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 Chorus: 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 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 Chorus: 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 Chorus: 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?
