SHOW BUSINESS (Young, Young, Scott) You learn to sing You learn to play Why don't the businessman Ever learn to pay CHORUS: That's show business Show bizness Show bizness That's the way it goes You play in halls You play in bars You're climbin' walls Chasin' stars CHORUS You pay the men You pay your dues When it's all gone You sing the blues CHORUS You wanna roll You wanna rock But you find it hard If your guitar's in hock CHORUS We smoke our butts They smoke cigars We drown in debt They drown in bars CHORUS You pull a chick Take her home No use, man You're worn out to the bone CHORUS
SOUL STRIPPER (Young, Young) Well, I met her in the garden Underneath that old apple tree Sitting with a handful of flowers Looking as cool as can be We talked away a couple of hours Then she laid her hand on my lap Oh, I thought I got to be dreaming I didn't know I fell in her trap CHORUS: Then she made me say things I didn't want to say Then she made me play games I didn't want to play She was a soul stripper, she took my heart Soul stripper, and tore me apart She started moving nice and easy Slowly getting into my spine Killing off this nice little feeling Ooooh, everyone she could find And when she had me hollow and naked That's when she put me down Pulled out a knife and flashed it before me Stuck it in and turned it around CHORUS
