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

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

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

6 shows a day[00:00:18]

15 Minute breaks[00:00:20]

Is that showbiz[00:00:22]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Your dog[00:00:56]

Your best friend[00:00:58]

Or even your wife[00:00:59]

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

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

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

Why[00:01:09]

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

You work practice woodshed[00:01:21]

Suffer for your craft[00:01:23]

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

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

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

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

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

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

You see somebody better[00:01:45]

And younger than yourself[00:01:47]

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

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

You reward[00:02:06]

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

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

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

And your name only[00:02:22]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And the people laugh[00:02:48]

That's showbiz[00:02:51]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Or an Edward G[00:03:23]

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

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

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

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

Thank you[00:03:44]

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

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

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

Showbiz[00:03:58]

Come on[00:04:06]

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

The little people[00:04:08]

Give it up[00:04:09]

Yeah[00:04:10]

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

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

Simply entitled[00:04:17]

That's Showbiz[00:04:18]

Thank you[00:04:20]

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

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

That's showbiz[00:04:23]

Good night[00:04:24]
