It's showtime |
They seem to wear a different mask each night they play |
They're forever someone else with every part |
They want to make it in the theatre all the way |
And the people down there know it in their heart |
They are beggars, kings or fools, they got it made |
Maybe someday I'll be part of the parade |
|
It's showtime, it's showtime |
The curtain goes up |
Everyone out there on stage |
It's showtime, it's showtime |
Let's reach for the top |
Songbirds, get out of your cage |
|
There's a center of attraction |
As you're blinded by the lights |
We know the crowds are after tears and laughter |
It's showtime, it's showtime |
What more can I tell? |
Showtime is heaven and hell |
|
And the funny man's laughin' |
Though he's feeling down right low |
But the audience won't know |
They love that funny show |
And the hero's a zero |
Who's frightened of a mouse |
But acts the hero and brings down the house |
|
There is nothing like showtime |
It will take you to the sky |
No stagefright can ever hold you back |
It's showtime in no time |
You take off and fly |
Knowing you're on the right track |
|
It's showtime, it's go time |
(And the funny man's laughing) |
The dream has come true |
(Though he's feeling down right low) |
We own the world here on stage |
(But the audience won't know) |
(They love that funny show) |
|
We're singing, we're dancing |
(And the hero's a zero) |
We're playing for you |
(Who's frightened of a mouse) |
Turning each night a new page |
(But acts the hero and brings down the house) |
|
It's showtime, it's showtime |
Of course (It's showtime) |
We're living just for your applause |
