With apologies to Irving Berlin — and music lovers everywhere…

There’s no business like bare-ly show business — like no business I know!

Everything about it is revealing, everything the coppers will allow!

Nowhere could you get that happy feeling when you are peeling and hear an extra “Wow!”

There’s no people like bare-ly show people, they smile when g-strings fall low!

Even for a geezer who’s about to fold–halfway gone, begun to mold,

As long as you’ve got cash or a sack of gold, we’ll go on with the show!
