[00:00:02] That's Showbiz - Reverend Horton Heat

[00:00:03] Written by：Jim Heath/James C. Heath

[00:00:16] You work 689 days in a row

[00:00:18] 6 shows a day

[00:00:20] 15 Minute breaks

[00:00:22] Is that showbiz

[00:00:32] No matter how bad you feel

[00:00:36] You could have a fever and the dry heaves

[00:00:38] From that left handed cigarette

[00:00:39] And shot of old crow you did

[00:00:41] Between the first and secon show

[00:00:45] You could have a social disease you caught

[00:00:47] From some platinum blonde bombshell in Boise

[00:00:53] You could feel bad because you lost your wallet

[00:00:56] Your dog

[00:00:58] Your best friend

[00:00:59] Or even your wife

[00:01:02] And no matter how bad you feel

[00:01:04] When those house lights go down

[00:01:07] A smile lights up your face

[00:01:09] Why

[00:01:11] 'Cause that's showbiz

[00:01:21] You work practice woodshed

[00:01:23] Suffer for your craft

[00:01:27] Do the old soft shoe till your feet bleed

[00:01:31] Sing mammy till your throat swells

[00:01:32] All the while smiling though your face hurts

[00:01:38] You do this for ten years

[00:01:39] And the day after the back page of

[00:01:41] Some local rag says your great

[00:01:45] You see somebody better

[00:01:47] And younger than yourself

[00:01:50] And he closes the show with a gag he stole from you

[00:01:56] And that's showbiz

[00:02:06] You reward

[00:02:08] A fast car you never get to drive

[00:02:13] Ex wives and kids who do interviews with the scandal sheets

[00:02:20] A long cool broad who loves you for your name

[00:02:22] And your name only

[00:02:26] This afternoon's pizza backstage of some dive

[00:02:29] You've played a hundred times before

[00:02:32] Where rats the size of a loaf of bread climb

[00:02:34] The walls and run the pipes

[00:02:37] Where the same drunk crudely delivers

[00:02:39] The same insults that you counter

[00:02:41] The same way every night

[00:02:45] Except time your delivery is a little different

[00:02:48] And the people laugh

[00:02:51] That's showbiz

[00:03:01] Your up for the part of leading man

[00:03:03] In a full length feature film

[00:03:07] And after you read you get a part

[00:03:11] One lousy line in a scene

[00:03:13] Where you play the school janitor

[00:03:19] So you say you're line with all the pizzaz

[00:03:21] And intensity of a Bogey

[00:03:23] Or an Edward G

[00:03:27] And that's showbiz

[00:03:37] So I say to all the little people

[00:03:39] Who spit shined and polished

[00:03:40] My long and jagged trail to the top

[00:03:44] Thank you

[00:03:48] For without you the little people

[00:03:52] I would not be where I am today

[00:03:55] It is truly you who are

[00:03:58] Showbiz

[00:04:06] Come on

[00:04:06] Give youself a round of applause

[00:04:08] The little people

[00:04:09] Give it up

[00:04:10] Yeah

[00:04:11] Please look for me in a new TV mini series drama

[00:04:14] Where I portray myself in the story of my life

[00:04:17] Simply entitled

[00:04:18] That's Showbiz

[00:04:20] Thank you

[00:04:20] You've been a wonderful audience

[00:04:21] I love you and remember

[00:04:23] That's showbiz

[00:04:24] Good night
