All That Jazz Page #9

Synopsis: Choreographing and picking dancers for his current show whilst editing his feature film about a stand-up comedian is getting to Joe Gideon. Without the chemical substances, he would not have the energy to keep up with his girlfriend, his ex-wife, and his special dancing daughter. They attempt to bring him back from the brink, but it's too late for his exhausted body and stress-ravaged heart. He chain-smokes, uses drugs, sleeps with his dancers and overworks himself into open-heart surgery. Scenes from his past life start to encroach on the present and he becomes increasingly aware of his mortality.

La, la, la, la, la, la

Bye-bye

My life

Oh, yeah!

Goodbye

Bye-bye, your life, goodbye

Bye-bye, your life, goodbye

Bye-bye, your life, goodbye

Bye-bye, your life, goodbye

There's no business like show business

Like no business l know

Everything about it is appealing

Everything the traffic will allow

Nowhere could you get that happy feeling

When you are stealing that extra bow

There's no people like show people

They smile when they are low

Yesterday they told you

you would not go far

That night you open, and there you are

Next day on your dressing room,

they've hung a star

Le's go on with the show

The costumes, the scenery,

the make-up, the props

The audience that lifts you

when you're down

The headaches, the heartaches,

the backaches, the flops

The sheriff who escorts you out of town

The opening when your heart

beats like a drum

The closing, when

the customers don't come

There's no business like show business

Like no business l know

You get word before the show has started

That your favourite uncle died at dawn

On top of that your Pa and Ma have parted

You're brokenhearted, but you go on

There's no people like show people

They smile when they are low

Even with a turkey that you know has fold

You may be stranded out in the cold

But still you wouldn't change it

for a sack of gold

Le's go on with the show

Le's go on with the show
