There's no business like show business
Like no business I know
Everything about it is appealing
Everything that traffic will allow

--"There's No Business Like Show Business"


Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super-duper)
Come, let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks or umbrellas in their mitts
Puttin' on the ritz

--"Puttin' On the Ritz" (1928) by Irving Berlin
