Original lyrics
There is no business like show business Khotsh men zugt s'iz nit ay ay! Yeder klogt zikh az s'iz shlekhte tsaytn Az teater iz an invalid Nor ikh vel mayn profesye nit farbaytn Ikh shver aykh itst vi ikh bin a yid Vayl mir makhn di velt lakhn Khotsh gelt makhn mir nit Haynt iz dos teater leydik, s'iz farmakht In morgn tantst men dort in me'lakht Men patsht idkh in di neygst zikh bis a halbe nakht Ot dos shtel ich aykh for: Teater in der aktyor
Translated lyrics
There's no business like show business Althought people say it's not so "ay ay ay" Everyone complains that times are bad That the theater is an invalid But I don't want to change professions I swear to you as I am a Jew Because we make the world laugh Although we don't make any money Today the theater is empty, it's all closed up And tomorrow people are dancing and laughing They applaud and you bow half the night through Now that I present to you: theater and the actor
