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 |
