Luyện nghe bài hát That's Showbiz

You 689 days in a row,
6 a day,
15 breaks,
Is that

No how bad you feel,
You could have a fever and the dry
From left handed cigarette
And shot of old you did between the first and secon show.

You could have a social you caught
From some platinum bombshell in Boise.
You feel bad because you lost your wallet, your dog, your best friend
Or your wife.

And no how bad you feel,
those house lights go down,
A smile lights up face
Why? 'cause showbiz.

You work, practice, woodshed,
Suffer for craft,
Do the old soft shoe till feet bleed
Sing mammy till throat swells
All the while smiling though your hurts.

You do for ten years
And the day after the back page of some rag says your great
You see somebody better, and than yourself
And he closes the show a gag he stole from you,
And showbiz.

You reward? A fast car you get to drive,
and kids who do interviews with the scandal sheets
A long cool broad who loves you for name and your name only.
This afternoon's pizza backstage of some dive played a hundred times before
Where rats the size of a of bread climb the walls and run the pipes
Where the same drunk crudely delivers the same insults you counter
The same way night.
Except delivery is a little different, and the people laugh.
showbiz.

Your up for the of leading man in a full length feature film.
And you read, you get a part.
One lousy line in a scene you play the school janitor.
So you say you're line with all the and intensity of a Bogey
Or an G.
And showbiz.

So I say to all the people
Who shined and polished
My and jagged trail to the top, "Thank you."
For you, the little people, I would not be where I am today.
It is you who are, showbiz.

Come on! youself a round of applause,
The people! Give it up! Yeah!
Please look for me in a new T.V. series drama
I portray myself in the story of my life,
Simply "That's Showbiz."
you! You've been a wonderful audience!
I you and remember,
That's showbiz! night!
